Hi

I recently mirrored the htdig repo on GitHub.

The address is https://github.com/andy5995/htdig

I plan to promote it, and work on it from time-to-time. I'm not an expert coder, so I have no expectations that I'll be able to develop htdig as well as the original developers, or that I'll be able to make any significant improvements.

For the moment, my plan simply is to gradually build up a community through GitHub and a Slack workspace. The more members who join, the better idea we'll have about the level of support for the continued development of htdig.

To create the possibility and opportunity for development to continue, I'll review pull requests in a timely manner, create tickets, and make minor patches myself.

I don't feel a need to manage or control the project for an indefinite period of time, and would happily hand it over to a team of three or four capable devs who could make sure that htdig remains a highly reputable and stable open source project.

If you are interested in passively monitoring the project, there is a link to join the Slack workspace (chat) on the revised README.md file.

I also ask that you submit any known bugs on the GitHub issue tracker.

The version I'm starting with is 3.2.0b6 (using a patch from https://packages.debian.org/stable/web/htdig), and some modifications from Robert Klein (https://github.com/roklein/htdig), who's repo is the one I mirrored.

Thank you,

-- 
-Andy
