As Steve posted yesterday, we lost not only a visionary, but a friend to many. I've had many long telephone conversations with Jim over the last year. We covered many topics including moving app_rpt forward.

I have taken over managing the project to continue Jim's work and keep it evolving. The first steps are to make sure everything stays running. This means among other things the node registration services. Without that for all intents and purposes, the network goes down. New users continue to signup and new nodes are getting assigned. This has to continue.

I have put together a group of people that are working to make sure services stay online. We are working towards having more then 1 person responsible for each task. Once we are comfortable with the tasks involved, we can take on the other needs.

As far as the source code is concerned, I have copied the source to github. This will make changes more visible and allow for submissions to be vetted and included. There will be no changes in the short term. The github repository is at <https://github.com/AllStarLink>

I will make sure AllStarLink survives and evolves.

73, Steve N4IRS
