Jeremy Rand: Week of 29 June (planned): Look more seriously at what's needed to port the Namecoin support to macOS/Windows. Keep working on rebasing Namecoin's patches to Electrum 4.0.0. Continue working on upstreaming Namecoin's Electrum patches. Continue talking to NLnet about funding things. Issue a formal statement from Namecoin about the OTF situation (hopefully it helps). Hopefully get my GitLab account sorted out. Week of 29 June (actual): Look more seriously at what's needed to port the Namecoin support to macOS/Windows. (WIP) Upstream Electrum released 4.0.1. (4.0.0 was skipped for unknown reasons.) Merge some upstream code from Electrum 4.0.1. Various NLnet coordination. Finish writing OTF statement for Namecoin (not published yet). I can now login to GitLab (though email notifications don't work yet here...) Week of 6 July (planned): File some GitLab issues about Namecoin support in macOS/Windows. Work on getting Electrum-NMC 4.0.1 ready. Work on upstreaming Electrum-NMC patches. More NLnet coordination. Publish OTF statement on Namecoin.org. Maybe figure out why email notifications aren't working for me from GitLab. <-- notifications were disabled before, they do not work for a specific project for you? --gaba (Hmm, maybe something was fixed without me noticing, will try again. -Jeremy)
