Hi Rob and Randy,
there is certainly a little bit of work going on in Dia:

It looks like there is also a 0.97.3, though it is not prominent
on any of the web pages:
(I have not used it myself.)
Rob, what kinds of extensions have you built? Can you share the
source code and/or contribute to the project?
I would love to see a more active Dia development community, even
though it is a very stable piece of software. But since I'm not
likely to have time to contribute code or documentation or etc any
time soon, I would argue that me asking "are you people still
working on Dia?" isn't an entirely fair question.
To me a fair question would be more like "Is there something I can
do to contribute?" or "hey I've got this great idea, here's a patch
/ some documentation / a plugin / etc" or maybe even "can I fund
the development of feature XYZ?".
Don't get me wrong, I know what it's like to be a downstream
developer and user and to feel forgotten. When a commercial
software provider slows down work on a product, there's not much
you can do; whereas there *are* things you can do to help revitalize
a free software project.
Philosophy aside, Dia looks to me to be evolving -- albeit slowly,
since it is a mature and very stable piece of software.
$0.02,
