Re: gradle reboot -- 2025W07 update

Very exciting!  Thanks for your status updates on this.  Do you want more 
visibility for them?  I think more people would see these if they were posted to 
a blog or Mastodon.  It is easy to set up a simple Markdown/Jekyll blog on 
Salsa.  Or you could post to this one:
