Re: FreeMarker 2.4 branch src repo has moved to github

Hi,

Sorry to have been silent lately. I haven't had too much to say
really. I think this is a good step. I have been thinking I would
really like to put some effort into 2.4 and get it out. I am writing
from Dalian, China, and I was told by somebody just a day ago that
FreeMarker has very large user base in China. To have done something
with that much impact is very satisfying to me. In the last couple of
days, I have been thinking, even moping a bit, about why we got so
stuck on 2.3.x and 2.4.x never got out there.

I am reluctant to point fingers, since much of it must be my fault,
but that is all past. Maybe we really can do something.

I am going back to Spain tomorrow and I will at least get the git
repository going on my computer(s) and just try to get my head back in
the code.
