You are 100% correct, Peter, that 'we' are the 'we'. But are there
other practical matters too? Such as the primary website and FTP area,
etc? Will those still be hosted where they are currently?
I've been using exim since the mid '90s. Though I'm no developer, I
would love to help out and keep exim alive and well after Philip
retires. I hope there will be an opportunity to contribute if even in a
small way.
A new list may be a good idea. There may be several things to hash out
over the next few months. :)
thanks,
