Alright just as an update, the transfer has been done. For now https://macvim.org will still forward to the GitHub page ( https://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/) address in the foreseeable future, but I could just serve the web page from the domain later on.
Also updated https://github.com/macvim-dev/ to have an email address from the domain, and should be considered the canonical place to email MacVim devs. On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 2:17 PM Benji Fisher <be...@fisherfam.org> wrote: > I confirmed the e-mail address, and I will follow up directly with > YeeCheng Chin. > > -- > Benji Fisher > > On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 9:16 AM Yee Cheng Chin <ychin....@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi, just circling back to this 5-year-old thread!
