Sorry, that was meant as a disclaimer, as in: the links I found don't specifically mention a webmaster, so I realize that by replying to you, I'm possibly not talking to the actual webmaster. But apparently I *am* :)

I meant that in general. A "last updated on" header / footer can help the viewer decide which information might be stale. OTOH you're right, if it doesn't need updating, it doesn't.

Not on the homepage, but https://www.vim.org/sponsor/faq.php still talks about voting benefits.

Anyway, I'm not here to nitpick, much less nitpick the website. Thanks for all your work on vim (and on maintaining the site)!

Nothing changed with regard to the donations. They still go to the ICCF.

Sorry, I don't follow. The community channels are still active.

Well, what exactly do you expect on updates? there wasn't anything that
needs to be update since the 9.1 release


Thanks,
