It would probably be a good idea to add just a few lines on the web site to give
this information. A few years ago, I just ignored povray because the dead web
site suggested that the project was dying. I suppose that povray loses users
because of this.

I don't think that the web site  needs more activity (quality needs stability
!). But indicating that the project is alive seems desirable.
