Either it didn't make it through, or it got lost on my end, so I'm resending. I'm the maintainer of the port editors/joe, and I've been in discussion with the maintainer of editors/joe-devel and the author of the Joe editor. We'd like to make a few somewhat complex changes to both ports, and I'm looking for a ports guru to assist. Basically, we'd like to rename editors/joe to editors/joe2 (and upgrade it from 2.8.x to the latest 2.9 series) and make editors/joe- devel the main editors/joe. Originally, the "devel" a.k.a. joe-3.x were unofficial forks, and were treated as such. Recently the original author of joe has endorsed the 3.x changes as official and has said that further development of the 2.x series would be limited to bug fixes only. We'd like to keep both ports, some people have strong feels both ways about which the "correct" editor is, but the 3.x series is no longer a development branch, and is what new users should be using. Any ports committers with experience in this situation want to help? I don't want to submit a mega-diff just to rename a couple of directories and modify a few names. :) -- Kevin
