This one is pretty active. It was originally based on Alchemy and Talisman from Sveasoft but has made very much of independent progress like new GUI, VOIP features, etc. and switched recently to OpenWRT as the underlying distribution.

Take a look at:

Can you give a link or quote about dd-wrt switching to openwrt?
Everything I found on their site was about Alchemy and Talisman. (Though
their forum seems to be down now, so I might be missing something there.)

It's not really based on OpenWrt, though the author of DD-WRT wants it to be someday. At the moment it's still an offspin of Alchemy with lots of extra stuff that includes some OpenWrt parts.

Google is your friend ;-)

eg. a result:

Basically this enables one to use packages from OpenWRT without needing to update the whole firmware (requires a rw filesystem, which is not turned on by default due to the compression ratio)
