    David Korn's ksh93 was passed on to a new set of developers, who attempted to release a new version; AT&T rolled back these changes due to performance problems which raised questions of support status. It does appear that ksh93 development has resumed, and a new version was released late last year.

    The independent pdksh spawned mksh, which is the default shell used in Android (as it has a BSD license); mksh appears to be very much active.

    OpenBSD also forked oksh from pdksh. This is certainly well-maintained.

    I don't know if this is helpful or just annoying unsolicited "advice"

    Anyway, for those of us who like openbsd ksh(all two of us) which is derived from pdksh. there is the project oksh.

    ...and that ksh descended from pdksh, and is distributed as the oksh portable project here:

    https://github.com/ibara/oksh

    The MirBSD Korn Shell also descended from pdksh, and it can be found here:

    http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm

    I don't know about the feature differences and code quality between these two; they both implement most of ksh88, and a small amount of ksh93.

    I prefer mksh when I need something more than a POSIX shell.

    Porting from OpenBSD, look for the portable versions and their compat layer. https://github.com/ibara/oksh/blob/master/portable.h
