Hi, Gavin et al.:


       Thanks for mentioning these new initiatives.


       What's the current status of R-Hub and the current advice 
regarding trying to migrate from R-Forge to R-Hub?


       I ask, because I've complained to R-Forge maintainers 9 times 
since 2015-07-26 about various problems.  A problem I complained about 
2016-05-06 has still not been solved, in spite of multiple interventions 
by the R-Forge team.


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
