Re: [Orgmode] Bastien is going to become the maintainer of Org mode in January
Dear all, First of all: *thanks* Carsten for Org! Moreover thanks for your patience while building this software and this community over the years. There is a true spirit of mutual respect and mutual learning in this list -- we wouldn't have grown so fast and so far without your constant dedication to such values. Needless to say I'm thrilled to step up as a maintainer, so thank for your trust. I don't have other plans than to keep Org as good as it is and as people want it to be, both regarding the code and the documentation. Also thanks everyone for the nice words and the good luck :) PS: As a child, my hero was Bastian from the The neverending story... let's hope Org will be such a neverending story! -- Bastien ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Bastien is going to become the maintainer of Org mode in January
When I first started using org-mode, the way I do my work became more efficient and much easier. Now, if I want to do something new, I first take a look at the org-mode manual to see if I can use org-mode to do the new thing. I haven't been able to fit org-mode into everything, but I haven't given up trying. Carsten, thank you so much for developing and maintaining org-mode. Not only is it an utterly great piece of software, but the community around it is very friendly and open, something which I credit to you. Every time I've sent a ridiculous question to the mailing list, I've received a polite and helpful response. On other lists, the response would have been RTFM. Bastien, I think org-mode will be in very fine hands when you take over. It is clear to me that under your leadership org-mode will continue to improve for a long time to come.
