I could imagine there would be enough people that could support the RDF
libraries and data access layers. They are used not onnly in Stanbol and
when they are actually used people might put in the required effort. I
think part of the problem is that to me it didn't seem like the CMS
components are moving anywhere so I preferred to work on other projects in
my free time.

However there are still some projects that use Clerezza CMS components.
>From my experience they did not contribute much to Clerezza because the
effort and time needed to get changes approved and subsequently get a
module released scared them off from even trying. Maybe Clerezza CMS
components might still develop some life on places like GitHub where
collaboration is more informal and people can just fork it and implement
their changes and offer their changes as pull requests. In worst case it
will be a nice archive ;)
