Hey Larry;

NDT is still supported by Internet2 and the R&E community, but as a 
"mature" project it doesn't have a roadmap that leads to new features. 
Bugfixes (either for critical security items or incorrect output in the 
network heuristic identification) are still in the forefront of the 
project's mind.  Lately there has been a lot of help from the MLab 
community (http://measurementlab.org/) which has adopted NDT as one of 
the testers used in the FCC broadband plan.  We hope to see a lot more 
contributions in the near future, and this will ensure that the code 
doesn't go away anytime soon.

Thanks;

-jason
