Re: [Bug-librejs] LibreJS webExtensions

[Nathan Nichols]

I would very much appreciate your help with this because I am a noob at Git. 

I'll be watching out for you in the Freenode chat room.

Hello Nathan,
Thanks so much for hacking on this. Because this will be the future of
LibreJS, I think it is appropriate to have it be an orphan branch within the
LibreJS git repo that has its history wiped. This ensures that GNU
software continues to live with Savannah, and within the original
LibreJS repo.

I invite you to join us in #librejs on Freenode to discuss this, or we
can disucss via email.

Thanks again for all of your hard work, and I'm looking forward to
helping however I can to bring LibreJS into the modern age.
