This is the biggest incompletion in my life.  It feels like not having a Will.  To be clear, I plan to work on Leo for the rest of my days.

Besides myself, Terry, Kent and my brother Speed "own" the leo-editor project.  This will allow any of them to manage the project after I am gone.

The requirements for my successor are simple: interest in the work and some skill with python.

Even just fixing bugs can take a lot of time.  The dreaded software rot is real.  Adding new features takes a lot more work.

Let me know if you have any interest.  Naturally, this will become more urgent when I'm gone, but it would be good to have a candidate now.

Info item #1225 memorializes these owners.  #910: summarizes this and all other dev info items.

Heh.  That's a real possibility.

I'm happy to see the thread. It's too common for us to avoid talking about the end of ourselves, and thereby make it harder for those who will remain (for their own short time).

I intend to continue contributing to Leo for a goodly time to come, but I'll always be a bit player (pun intended, of course).
