Welcome to the Digest mailing list

[Vladislav Blanton]

Cool! Welcome to the list Martin, your suggestions, input, and actions will
have an effect!

I myself have not been active here for a little while, prioritizing some
other projects and things, but I wanted to make sure to say hello before
moving along :)

wishing you, and the rest of the team, well,

Vlad
