Subject: [Rd] Duncan's retirement: who's taking over Rtools?
Message-ID: <CAO1zAVapW6yeCE-3iRys3BGcy=eNSrh0Bf2ord=6uxPmmkgD7w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear dev team,

I was sorry to see the announcement of Duncan about his retirement from
maintaining the R Windows build and Rtools. Duncan, thank you incredibly
much for your 15 years of devotion and your impressive contribution to the
R community as a whole.

Thinking about the future, I wondered whether there were plans for the
succession of Duncan. Is it the intention to continue providing Rtools and
a Windows build, or are these tasks left open for anyone (possibly
Microsoft itself) to take them over? And if so, how will the decision be
made on that?

Cheers
Joris
