As all of you, so was I deeply shocked when I heard the news. Bram was a
great leader
to the Vim community and I really enjoyed working with him over the past
years, since I became
involved with the development of Vim almost 20 years ago.

Bram was of great inspiration in creating a great community, helping
people with his charity and
he was a great mentor. And now he left too soon. We lost a great leader
and I regret never having
met him in person...

However to all of the community: I will continue and I hope all of the
other contributors will
also keep up the good work. I do have access to the Vim homepage and the
Vim organization (not sure
if all the rights, but I am sure we will work on the details in the near
future.

Once I return from vacation, I'll go through the PRs and review them
(and also commit the missing
patch to github). I'll welcome anybody to contribute to make Vim better.

I still don't know all the internals of the various areas (vim9, virtual
text, syntax highlighting to name
a few) and I don't know how much time I can dedicate, but I hope
together we will be able to continue
successfully.


Thanks,
Chris
