Hi,

C. Michael Pilato (Mike) sent an e-mail a few days to the subscribers of
the svnbook-dev mailing list informing that the list was about to be been
decomissioned. Unfortunately, the message didn't manage to make it to the
archive[1] and I'm not sure how much of a direct quote I'm allowed to make,
but I'll make a quick summary of my understanding.

* The e-mail address svnbook-...@red-bean.com is still alive and it is my
understanding it is monitored by Mike.
* The source code for the book is still alive on SourceForge [2] and the
mail contained an open invitation to Subversion developers to contact him
to get access to the repository. (I already have access and can commit
patches if someone don't want commit access for themselves).
* Mike is happy to keep hosting the book website [3] and the domains
svnbook.[org|com].

There was a discussion in 2018 about moving the book to the ASF[4] but it
never happened and at the moment there doesn't seem to be an immediate need
to do something, but there is an opening for someone with a knack for
writing documentation to update the book with news from 1.8 to 1.14
releases...

Cheers,
Daniel
