The Ontopia product is created by the Ontopia community, and so the product is what the community makes it. Anyone can join and contribute to help make the product better.

If you want to know what is going on, follow the project on Twitter or read our blog. 

If you want to get more closely involved with the project, the first thing you should do is to join the mailing list, which is where the community discusses the state and future of the project. This is where you can engage with the community and start to get involved with it.

Second, you should download and try out the software.

After this you may want to check out the source code and build it. Once there is something specific you want to contribute, there is a guide to how to do it here.
