The Wakening of Machines is still about. I'm Ennui, the second team member, and I'm working as Co-Leader, helping Fluxtah with the design work and PR. I'm also working as a mapper, and I'll be handling this moddb profile from here on out.
We've got a solid plan and we're working diligently at it. Basic forums are up at our website, Thewakening.com along with some basic background on the modification, and in a few weeks we'll have the real site layout completed and up.
So, sit back, head over to the forums on the site and help start up the community, even if you just discuss things that don't have much to do with the mod yet. We've got a bit of a wait before our first public release, but it'll be worth it!
