Well the main one is eCosCentric.  They are the originators more or less (I 
think.)  Their website is http://www.ecoscentric.com.  They are the group 
from RedHat, so although RedHat has dropped support, they have an opportunity 
to pick it up.

My company is Navosha.  We do support and contract work basically for 
anything.  Ecos is one of the things we do work with.  Our webpage is 
http://www.navosha.com but it's a bit out of date (it will be up to date in a 
week or so).  We have online documentation available at 
http://navosha.dynu.com if you want to get a quick reference of what eCos is 
capable of.

There is another site that has EXCELLENT and very complete documentation at 
http://www4.ncsu.edu:8030/~abdudani/ecos/docs/ as well.

I am sure there are others that support eCos directly as well, maybe they want 
to mention themselves?

I don't think there is any possibility that eCos will die out.  My company 
sees it as a viable replacement for vxWorks, and it's debugger is a dream to 
work with in comparison to the vxWorks GDB of 2 years ago.
