Hi Steve, hi all --
I have no particular objection to switching to git, and there appear to be
reasonable tools to smooth the transition. Thankfully we merged in
unicode-internal and Jeff Sparkes’ GTK branch before this became necessary;
would be nice to merge in the FFI code before the conversion.
Clearly I am not devoting the amount of cycles to XEmacs necessary for much
of anything at the moment, I apologise for that. But I miss it, this sort of
problem-solving helps keep me detail-oriented and precise at the day job,
when the temptation with a people-facing job is to be personable and
imprecise.
Best,
Aidan

Hi, Aidan
Perhaps you've already seen this. As you are the most active
contributor, I think we should consider your preferences about how to
handle this strongly.
