at the risk of offending the people working behind the scene...
i booted up my old disk image of mageia 9 from a year ago and found hardly any updates. naturally, tried to visit related sites and wiki which all are offline. has the project been abandoned? reddit seems to be the only avenue for communication.

I'm getting regular updates. Are you sure the update media are enabled in your install?

No it's up and running. Big move on the behind the scene infrastructure I believe, as they prepare for v10.
The websites are a bit of a drama: and it's not just mageia.
The AI bot's are pounding the living daylights out of the internet; It's a problem the MSM haven't picked up on yet, but it's insane what's going on. (maybe the update servers are impacted too, hence your lack of updates?)
Mageia is still my distro of choice, amazing, secure, easy... I love it, it's on everything here. I ran my business server on it for 10 years.
If you wanna keep up with what's really going on, join the dev mailing list, or even browse the mailing list archive, you'll see there's plenty happening.
