Overview

This is the relaunch of the new www.vim.org website. We have found a small team that will take on the beautiful task of rebuilding the website with current design and new concepts.

The new development should not take place behind closed doors, we want to make the new development public and transparent for you.

Soon there will be a test system where you can follow the current status successively.

Of course, we will involve you, the community, in the design by collecting ideas and feedback.
