while there's some rubbish on this list, there are still valid support
questions being raised and an email list suits some people better than
others. (There's spam on the forums as well... and for me I find it
easier to filter out in email...)
Likewise the git repository on git.infradead.org — if development is
happening on github, there's no point in just mirroring it here, is
there?
that one I can't make an argument for keeping. the repo over on
github seems to be the source of everything nowadays (and I confess I
changed the ubuntu build scripts to pull from there some time ago). I
wouldn't cry if the infradead copy disappeared.
I was happy to provide services (and even try to learn a bit of
perl) when Phil Lewis bowed out, but it now seems that there's a fairly
capable community around it and it's not clear what benefit I continue
to provide...
whatever is or isn't going on now, the contribution you've made to
get-iplayer by hosting it, particularly the speed with which you
picked it up after Phil Lewis stopped, is definitely appreciated.
Thank you for your support to the project over the years, and long may
it continue :-)
Thanks
Jon
