I would be happy to make some sort of contribution, but being essentially a hobbyist programmer, I'm not sure how useful I could be. I've never worked in any type of devlopment team. Documentation is something I could contribute to, but not until next year due to on-going commitments in 2023. Certainly an "advert" for maintiners on AmForth's new home would be a good thing; together messages on the socials. Talking of maintenance, I note that avra (on Sourceforge) hasn't been updated since 2019. Maybe it's completed? -- Regards, Martin Nicholas.
