[aur-general] bringing vis to [community]
Hello everybody, vis aims to be a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor. That is what the readme says... I think this is a pretty good description. As there is good documentation I suggest taking a look at the readme [0] for anybody interested. Looks like vis is still unknown to most Arch people, though. I do maintain it in AUR [1], but it received just two votes so far. Nevertheless I would like to bring it to [community] when version 0.2 is tagged and released. Any comments? Complains?

[0] https://github.com/martanne/vis/blob/master/README.md [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vis/ I just gave it a vote to help. However, [community] is not meant to have largely unknown packages. I'd be moving a lot of single vote AUR

Thanks! ;)

I do maintain a lot of packages in AUR, and most of these will stay there. However we have a decent part of our community that likes the suckless [0] projects, including dwm, dmenu, st, slock and some more. Vis is a perfect fit here and I am sure a lot of people will use it once they know about it. Perhaps advertising it here is enough to get the votes. Let's see of it makes its way.

No strong objections from my side, although I do have some concerns about real popularity of the package. It falls into "vi replacement" category, but has small number of votes and I didn't see it in other distributions' repositories. BP
