Thanks to Kirk Clendinning for donation of the MacPorts.com domain!

The members of the DarwinPorts project would like to issue a huge  
thanks to Kirk Clendinning (http://www.lensart.com) for his donation  
to the project of the domain macports.com.

(If you missed our announcement yesterday, the DarwinPorts project  
will transition to the new name "MacPorts", using the Macports.org  
domain).

After securing macports.org as our new home, we approached Kirk, the  
owner of the macports.com domain, to see if he'd be willing to  
transfer it to us. He was, and did, and we now have the security of  
knowing that we have control over that domain, which can help to  
avoid some of the confusion we've faced in the past.

Please join me in thanking Kirk for his generosity. If you're so  
inspired, browse and buy some of his photos at http://www.lensart.com.

Kirk also asks: "perhaps you could try to convince Microchip to offer  
their PIC development products for OSX. I've contacted their software  
department several times over the past few years trying to talk them  
into letting me port their development environment without success.  
Garmin, my other target of porting, has announced support for OSX.  
Their effort is being run out of Phoenix. You could always offer them  
tech support."

If anybody has leads or contacts at either of those places, it would  
be a nice gesture to Kirk to follow up.

Thanks Kirk!
