No community? Dead project? What about other countries like the US? #4

This project seem pretty much dead from the outside:

From https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-campaign-for-mobile-phone-voting-is-getting-a-midterm-test :

Unlike West Virginia, which turned to an off-the-shelf app created by a private company, Colorado is working with software developers to build its own open-source mobile-voting platform. “There have been a lot of discussions about how best to do it, who would build it, what a test case would look like,”

Do the Canton the Genève and the confederation are taking the opportunity to help other countries? Switzerland enjoy a complete legitimacy to provide such service, but I don't see any move to take this opportunity.

Hi, this proof of concept has indeed never been updated. We released last week a partial implementation of a full evoting system with end-to-end encryption, individual verifiability and universal verifiability. See https://chvote2.gitlab.io.

As this new development project has been halted, Canton of Geneva does not provide any support regarding this released source code. Also please note that the system is not complete and therefore not usable for any real case.
