Got some decent feedback. At this point it looks like the primary request from testers is adding macOS and Windows support. Upstream Electrum released a couple of betas of Electrum 4.0.0. Started looking at rebasing Namecoin's patches to 4.0.0 (most are rebased continuously, but a few only get rebased for releases.) Dealing with various funding-related things e.g. NLnet proposal. Discussed having Namecoin issue a statement about the OTF situation. Tried to activate my GitLab account, failed. 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. -- she/her are my pronouns GPG Fingerprint EE3F DF5C AD91 643C 21BE 8370 180D B06C 59CA BD19
