Excerpts from captain stubing's message of Wed Feb 26 03:14:31 +0000 2014: > What should we do? What happens to your sources? What should we do if you got hit by a bus? :) (If Bram gets hit by a bus I hope the bus was driving at walking speed only)
Multiple people have access to the sourceforge website. Thus there are ways to continue this project easily. I think the same applies to mailinglists (but I'm not sure) hg sources: http://vim.sourceforge.net/download.php At least two clones are at github: http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/vim-development/development.html And the source of vim is distributed dozen of times on many computers (because a lot of people do compile vim from source). most scripts of vim.sf.net are mirrored at vim-scripts (minus those having duplicate names - but they could be the exception). Often used plugins are installed many times by users - so there should be enough duplication. Currently neovim could make progress soon - so there might be more important questions if neovim succeeds and gains users - and how to cope/merge continue then. But we can wait 1-2 months before thinking about decisions - right now vim is the only stable solution for work IMHO. So there is not too much risk (not much more than has been in the past - I mean Yzis was a serious fork, neovim is another one happening right now) (As always its just my limited view) Marc Weber -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
