THE FOLLOWING TWO MESSAGES INEXPLICABLY ENDED UP IN THE 'LaTeX backend patches, round two' TOPIC.
I CREATED THIS NEW THREAD MANUALLY AND COPY AND PASTED THE ORIGINALS. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/Lj1l9q-l7Vs/5Q9SIeXk92UJ ---- November 10, 2013 Subject: AsciiDoc Development Hi All I've been working on AsciiDoc for over a decade now and it really has been incredibly rewarding, mainly because of all you AsciiDoc users and contributors out there -- without your input AsciiDoc would not be what it is today (Sourceforge alone has recorded over 25 thousand downloads for the 8.6.8 release, and that's not even counting packaged distributions or repository downloads!). With the 8.6.9 release out of the way I've decided that now is a good time for me to get out of the driver's seat. The problem is not AsciiDoc, it's the current development model (if you could call it that) which relies heavily on myself (hard to believe, but when AsciiDoc was first released in 2002 there was no Git or Mercurial). Despite the best will in the world I just don't have enough spare time to manage the development adequately (I apologise to submitters for not not reviewing and integrating your patches over the last six months or so). So where to from here? I don't have the answers and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject. Cheers, Stuart -- Stuart Rackham ---- https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/Lj1l9q-l7Vs/MYLTck8uDrIJ ---- November 12, 2013 Subject: Re: AsciiDoc development It slipped my mind, but regards Github, Dan Allen wrote an extensive post on *exactly this subject* back in December last year (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/asciidoc/github/asciidoc/QTp7UDqwTrs/r9fArIeu-DIJ). Dan set up a trial mirror here: https://github.com/mojavelinux/asciidoc-mirror So I guess it's just a matter of moving from Google Code to the asciidoc organization on Github (https://github.com/asciidoc).
