Hi Martijn! I'm not really active on this email list, but I enjoy reading the updates. I got my PhD in Computer Science in 1993, and from what I've seen, technology comes and goes. In the current case, email is becoming less relevant, and github is becoming more relevant. And for me, I try to keep up with the times. I already have a github account for other purposes, so I'm happy to migrate over there. In any case, I appreciate all the work you (and others) do on FLAC. So, I will happily support any decision you make. All the best, Jim------------------------
