Hello.
Smoothie is very actively developped.
You can see recent commits here : [github.com]
Smoothieboard is also very actively developped, we are working on a new version right now.
The documentation is also very actively worked on. You can take a look at it here : [smoothieware.org]
We try to make it as complete as possible, and make it so it is understandable even to newcomers.
In particular, we have full guides for laser cutters, cnc mills and 3D printers. You can see the 3D printer guide here : [smoothieware.org]
But the documentation also includes detailled documentation for all features.
Smoothie is a project that is not only oriented towards 3D printing but also cnc milling and laser cutting.
The goal here being that by having contributors from different communities, we increase both the quality and the number of features.
Smoothieboard has ethernet support, with a web interface ( with a basic one in place now, and a much more complete one currently in development ), telnet connectivity ( for example supported by Pronterface ), and SFTP connectivity.
You can find information here : [smoothieware.org]
There are more than 2000 users of Smoothie around at the moment, and a significant community, mainly on IRC, but also in the forums/mailing lists, that can provide support and help.
I also answer support questions about Smoothie directly via email at wolf.arthur@gmail.com ( usually within the same day, sometimes after a few days ).
Smoothie has many features implemented : everything Marlin supports ( with the exception of I2C panels, which we are working on ), and much more.
I recommend you take a look at the documentation, it is a good way to see how it works/what is new with it. We'll also be working on a page presenting the features soon.
Cheers.
