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 Unfortunately the web page is somewhat out of date, check the fortran@gcc.gnu.org mailing list instead, archive is at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/ .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.
