I am sorry to have to read this. As I entered this universe of great Personal Information Management LEGO bricks two years ago, you were the maintainer in charge of this huge project. Although I already had been part of several communities, I was overwhelmed by the warm welcome in this one. I loved to enter it, I love to stay in it. You are very patient with Org-mode/ELISP rookies and you are incredible cautious and diplomatic with I-do-not-know-how-to- describe-but-you-know-who-I-mean people. I learned a *lot* from you here on this mailing list, not only related to software. Despite the fact that I am not able to add (ELISP-)code (yet) you still give me the feeling that my contributions are an important part of this community and this is just great. I thank you for all your effort of the past years and do hope that you will be an important part of this project in future as well. Je t'embrasse, merci beaucoup! > Carsten accepted to step up, if the community agrees. > Please raise your thumbs up or your concerns, if any. When I first read the subject, I was shocked. Especially because of this silly I-want-to-take-over-and-become-maintainer-discussion of the past weeks. But with Carsten mentioned, I am relieved :-) My thumbs are up in the air for sure. I am glad that Carsten is willing to take over again. I can imagine what this means and it is not easy to find someone who is competent *and* is willing to spend his/her time on such a project. Welcome Carsten, I thank you in advance and wish you all the best for this job! > I'm glad I had this opportunity to work as "Robin" and > I'm even more glad "Batman" may strike back! Nice picture. Is someone able to photoshop this with their heads for the web page announcement? :-) PS: Tomorrow, I give an Org-mode talk [1] at the Linuxdays Graz (Austria) and I am eager to announce all the changes of the past days (version 8, best toolset ever, new maintainer) to the audience. 1. http://glt13-programm.linuxtage.at/events/161.de.html (German) -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
