The only "live" part of the g95 (or gfortran) project is now fully integrated with GCC development.

So are gfortran (in gcc) and www.g95.org one branch? The appearance is very different ... (and g95.org is certainly rather live ...)

No. g95 is a separate project, although there is some cross-pollination. GNU gfortran lives at http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/ , and as has been said, is now part of mainline gcc, expected to release in 2005. Unfortunately the web page is somewhat out of date, check the fortran@gcc.gnu.org mailing list instead, archive is at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/ .

If you want to compile F95 code right away, g95 is probably in a more usable state at the moment. However, considering that g95 is a one-man show I don't think it's long-term viability is as good as that of gfortran.
