Charles E Campbell has created the very useful netrw plugin and has been maintaining it for a long time. Unfortunately, he has not had sufficient time available and the current version included with Vim is quite old. There is a newer version on http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/#NETRW but still hasn't been sufficiently tested.
Charles also maintains a few other files and doing all of them together clearly doesn't work. I think it would be good if someone can take over maintenance of netrw, which is the biggest of the Vim plugins Charles made. Note that I haven't been able to get an answer from Charles about this, last I heard he was having trouble with his computer. This is not about taking netrw in another direction or refactoring it, lots of people (including myself) depend on the current mechanism, variables to configure it, etc. It is about making sure bugs are fixed and perhaps add a few minor features. I hope the latest version can be tested and added to the Vim distribution. -- Seen on the back of a biker's vest: If you can read this, my wife fell off. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
