Yes, that would be enough for those who are interested to find the new
place. It would be a pity, if they started with the old code base.

You can of course leave them in place, but every _new_ user interested
in trying dwim, should see the information that the whole thing has
evolved and lives elsewhere. That would be fair.

That's of course a better solution, but I didn't expect you to have
enough time for that :)

Should we get there, we would have integrated wiki, bug-tracker, forum,
source code management interface (through cgi) and all that running from
a single binary. That *is* already feature-rich!

It sounds great!

I'm running a mail server already on a well connected dedicated
server. I could easily add and administer one or more mailing lists, if
it would be acceptable for the mailing list addresse, NOT to be
... at dwim.hu
