I've checked the activity on their launchpad account, and the activity over there seems to be incredibly muted:
https://code.launchpad.net/awn
Last commit about a week ago, and most commits very far apart. is the project dead?
Cairo-dock seems to be more active, but still not that much. http://www.cairo-dock.org/
What about telepathy, deskbar-applet, tracker, opensync, conduit and wine-doors? Are they all dead?
I wouldn't say it's dead. It's likely that the contributors have other things going on in their lives :)
That said, Launchpad states 34 commits by 3 people in the last month

= not dead. A week is hardly a long time.
It's Christmas season. You should cut them some slack.
There's no textbook definition of "dead" for a project, is there?

If development has ceased for a year, I think it would be safe to assume that it's at least dying :)
