Thank you for your response. It's still completely open what we will decide to do. A migration always has a few unforeseen complications. Which is why it should always be done as a "dark launch", as far as possible. Unfortunately, the Vim site being down for several days is not a good display of being able to keep things running. Now that the site is up again, I have noticed several problems. Sometimes images don't appear, sometimes a page does not respond, sometimes it's just slow. Unfortunately, this again is not good for building trust. For example, the page https://vim.sourceforge.io/scripts/add_script.php was not working, only after reloading several times it showed up correctly. I hope your site engineers are able to see in the logs what the problems are and fix them soon. - Bram -- BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments Chapter Two Verses Nine to Twenty One.
