Brad,

Actually, Croquet (Cobalt) development process suspended for a time in
using Squeak and Smalltalk language, but has a new encouraging breath on
top of JavaScript in the form of Virtual World
Framework<http://www.virtualworldframework.com>
.
The latest stable Croquet code based on Smalltalk is available at OpenQwaq
project <http://code.google.com/p/openqwaq/> and it's derivatives (there is
a parent closed source version 3D ICC's Immersive Terf <http://3dicc.com/>).
But, the current open source OpenQwaq home base image has not been updated
for two years, it is still Squeak 4.1, and is needed to be updated.
OpenCobalt <http://www.opencobalt.org/> stable version is based on Squeak
3.8 home base image, and unstable is on Squeak 4.2 (as I know).
The project Krestianstvo <http://www.krestianstvo.org> (which I maintain
and currently working on) from the second version is based on OpenQwaq, it
is not add any modifications to the Croquet architecture itself. The latest
changes (April 2013) I have made is a CouchDB storage driver for OpenQwaq
and the corresponding Seaside application for administrative tasks for
running own virtual world server, as a replacement for the default
ODBC/MySQL and PHP backend (soon I'll post more about that on the project's
site).
Some time ago Matthew Fulmer had an attempt to exclude the Croquet core
(aka TeaTime) from the base image, but the project is still in a
development, as I know.

So, Croquet is alive and exists on different implementations and platforms, but
more actively developed on JavaScript for now (
https://github.com/virtual-world-framework/vwf).

Regards,
Nikolay
