Hello, Tristan (and all the rest of the community). I am guessing you mean the SourceForge repo and the mailing list? I wish I could offer more help with this but I am at a loss with the assembly stuff. It would be nice to have the website info protected (amforth.sourceforge.net) since there is so much good information there. And what to do about the mailing list? I still search them for help now and again. Can it be archived in some way? I know the website information is in the svn repo and could be pulled out easily enough.
My bigger issue with making any changes to the assembler files is that I have no way to test the MSP430 stuff. I can't seem to locate one of the chips or boards to at least make sure it would work. It's also a pity that the risc-v stuff wasn't further along since that does seem to be something that would be useful. So I would support in what minimal way I can. I know there are those of you that have been here for a long time. The fact is that this project is still useful. It just seems to work. So long as I have access to 8 bit avr chips I'm sure I'll be playing around with AmForth. There is something about thinking in forth that seems to be good for my aging brain. And there is no denying that having register level access is great.
