It is a very difficult decision for me to take considering that I had put all my heart in to it. (Btw, this decision has nothing to with me not having enough time at hand.) I leave it up to the community on what would be the best place to "host" this software. I am a signed contributor and all the above files have their copyright assigned to FSF and the files are distributed under the same license as Emacs itself. I would like to emphasize that I am the SOLE AUTHOR of the above files. (More specifically, there is literally none of the changes made by Lennart Borgman had made it's way in to the final product. Though it retains some of the "influence" of his involvement.) At some point in time I would like to make a formal submission to GNU ELPA to host this package as a personal initiative. Not having this package in Orgmode core would also help me move fast in in having my files in a distribution head. I will happily fix any bug reports that come by way. I will be lot less aggressive in adding features though. I will not be making anymore commits to the Orgmode repo and I am switching my development to a private branch. Jambunathan K. --
