Hello Bram,
[This is the first time I am writing to a Vim mailing list.]
First and foremost, congratulations for the new version. I am currently
using version 6.4, which is also amazing (I am using Vim for a few years
now).
I have a question that other may also find interesting.
The web site has asked to sponsor the development of the program, so you
can have a part time job (or no "out of the house" job at all), and
devote your time to developing the program.
In the Vim 7 release announcement, you are saying:
"
I am now going back to a paid job.
"
My questions are:
1. Was developing Vim 7 a full time job?
2. Since you probably (and hopefully :-) ) plan to keep developing Vim
7.X and moving to the next major version (version 8.X) in the future,
don't you need more sponsoring (beside your voluntary work for Uganda)?
Regards and thanks again,
Jonathan Orlev
