I'm not a contributor of ViM, but I use ViM from a long time (and of course I like it), I think the logo propose by James Beck (nice job) is more beautifull than the old logo, and it would be a good idea to refresh vim.orgtoo. I'm a web developer so it's easy for me to tell that but, maybe making a public repository in which people could improve vim.org could be a good idea. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
