Hi, just circling back to this 5-year-old thread! I'm currently the maintainer of MacVim (http://github.com/ychin), and wondering if I could take over the macvim.org domain name? In the short term I will likely just maintain the domain forwarding to the GitHub page, but it would allow me to say set up an email address under the macvim.org domain, and also have more control over it (say just for example if in the future we want to move off GitHub, it would make sense to use the macvim.org domain as the canonical URL for the project).
This is the email address I use to make Git commits to MacVim, and you could email me on this. Thanks for keeping the domain up for macvim.org all these years btw! -YeeCheng Chin On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 12:50:35 AM UTC-7 george....@gmail.com wrote: > On Sat, Aug 6, 2016 at 6:05 PM, Benji Fisher <benji1...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Friday, August 5, 2016 at 9:18:04 AM UTC-4, Niklas Lindström wrote: >> [snip] >> > >> > I agree.
