Yes and no, the code evolved, some old stuff was removed, some
remains, even the layout and configuration are the same.
I've just clean up the code, divided db.py in several files, renamed
some tables, etc.
Also I've updated some ancient code (t2, pdf generation with
reportlab), to newer plugins or libraries supported by web2py.

You can see each change starting from googlecode clone, so in my
opinion is the same code base:

I would prefer not to create a new project, I think it would cause
more confusion, ending with at least 3 projects for conference
software with web2py., with a project inactive? what for?

This is not the same case as Massimos' conf2py, my clone is not a full
rewrite, it has the same codebase as stated earlier.

Projects don't create new projects for each version, as the wording
suggests, it is not logical, I don't think that is a good signal for
our community.
I think it is better to manage branches in the repository, managing
old and new code in the same place.
Although it is true that web2py advances quickly, showing
understanding, stability and commitment to long term projects is a
good sign.

IMHO
