I received in my email today a post from Knowledge Futures titled "Not Enough: Open Infrastructure Funding and the Future of Knowledge Futures". It doesn't appear to be on the web anywhere. Anyhow, it states KF will be "responsibly sunsetting PubPub Legacy, pausing our hosted Platform service, and reducing staff." The explain, "the communities we served with PubPub Legacy, an easy-to-use, free academic site builder, largely did not have the resources to support its active development." I had my criticisms when PubPub was launched in 2018, noting that the Public Knowledge Project had been doing the same thing since 1998,albeit of course, in Canada, not at MIT. The current iteration of PubPub Platform seemed to me to be a last-ditch effort to make the project pay. This link is to the GitHub repository for the PubPub code, for those who are interested. End-of-life for the platform is the end of 2025 and for the legacy code the end of 2026.
