GNU Aspell is Alive. Before GNU Aspell was split between Savannah and and SourceForge, now GNU Aspell is split between Savannah and GitHub. Basically I will use GitHub to track issues instead of SourceForge. The old CVS repo is a mess and did not convert well to Git so I did a minimal conversion that did not attempt to import most of the history from CVS. As it stands now the Git repo is an a state of flux. Once it stabilizes the master and devel branch of the repo will be pushed to both Savannah and GitHub. Releases as always will be upload to ftp.gnu.org. I realize that GitHub is not the best solution, but it is no worse than SourceForge. I chose GitHub for now to increase the visibility of the project and as a pragmatic solution as I use GitHub regulatory for my current job where I work on other non-FSF Free (as in freedom) projects. At some point in the future I might move the issues (and repo) to a more free solution such as GitLab. I will continue to accept bug reports via email for those who do not wish to use GitHub. Once again, GNU Aspell is alive. Expect a maintenance release sometime in the next month or so. Kevin
