Not working on it at the moment as I am working on the OMMORPG project. However, a lot of the work being done on the OMMORPG Project will be available for the Blackout Project. So, in a round about way, this is being continued.
For those that have not read a few posts back, the original code is pretty much being scrapped the project is starting over from scratch. Of course the original code will still be available for use as needed.
Currently, the foundational code for GUI, object management, and AI is being worked on for the OMMORPG project, as well as a decent out-doors system, which will allow players to crawl through tall grasses and bush areas, as well as leave trails to be tracked (should make for a nice hunting scenario).
Anyway, the short of it is that I only have the time for one project, so the OMMORPG is it. But the Open Source FPS, AKA BlackOut, is still alive, even if it is in a comma on life support.
If you want to contribute, models, such as weapons, structure materials (buildings, trees, crates, barrels, etc.) will be needed. Animators will probably be extremely valuable as well.
