According to a piece of discussion recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27088530 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27088530) the stop for adding new papers seems to be voluntary and motivated by complying with a request in an Indian court process.
Under the circumstances I'm sure they could use help and development with that stage anyway, but it's not clear to me that whatever system was in place until last year has been put out of commission more permanently.
- titoCA321 5y agoWhy is sci-hub complying with Indian courts and worried about American law enforcement if sci-hub is in Russia?

Probably because the same court has previously decided that photocopying books for personal use is fair-use, as long as no profit is being made. Being legal in India would be a huge benefit. sci-hub could be hosted on a .in domain with servers hosted in India. No more cat and mouse game.
