+title: Major Changes
+category: news
+---
+
+Major changes are afoot: we've deleted and re-created every repository
+on vim-scripts. The biggest reason we did this was to conver the
+email addresses in the commits messages into something that GitHub
+can link automatically. This was
+also a good opportunity to fix long and multi-line commit messages and
+suppress a bunch of .swp files that authors uploaded accidentally.
+
+As a side-effect of the ground-up rebuild, various problems in the
+following scripts have been repaired.
+If they gave you trouble before, it's worth trying again.
+
+ - 0065 - CD.vim
+ - 0356 - dbext.vim
+ - 0492 - SQLUtilities
+ - 0848 - SrchRplcHiGrp.vim
+ - 1234 - YankRing.vim
+ - 1839 - IndentAnything
+ - 3025 - Command-T
+ - 3051 - vimform
+ - 3087 - OutlookVim
+ - 3154 - vorax
+ - 3169 - luainspect
+
+It's minor, but it's nice that the dates on these scripts were fixed:
+
+ - 1052 - The-Mail-Suite-tms
+ - 1082 - MS-Word-from-VIM
+
+Finally, in the past two months the authors of the following scripts
+deleted some or all of their histories. We restored missing revisions
+were restored from the previous vim-scripts mirror. This explains why
+a few commits here and there still have the old (broken) email addresses
+and commit messages.
+
+ - 2791 - popup\_it--su
+ - 1259 - sienna
+ - 2653 - cuteErrorMarker
+ - 1651 - freya
+ - 2109 - BBCode--Dahn
+ - 2188 - earendel
+ - 3118 - skk.vim-B
+
+Upload starting soon!

+title: GitHub Organization Conversion Mistake
+category: news
+---
+
+A quick note on why I converted vim-scripts to a GitHub organization,
+and then converted it back.
+
+Let's start at the beginning...
+
+I'm fairly unhappy with the way GitHub handles messaging.
+Mostly it's because GitHub makes it impossible to reply directly
+to a GitHub message via email.
+
+When somebody sends vim-scripts a
+message, I need to log out of my account, log into vim-scripts, write
+the reply from scratch using the lame webform editor,
+log out, log back into my personal account, and then do it all
+over again in a few hours. The outgoing message
+isn't saved so I can't easily copy from previous converations.
+It's private. It's tedious. It's horrible. I'll never do it.
+
+Therefore, I'd like to disable messaging completely on the vim-scripts account.
+Alas, GitHub doesn't allow that. If you turn off message notifications,
+people will still send you messages, you'll just never hear about it.
+
+That's why I was rejoicing when I saw that all of this business
+appears to be fixed with
+[GitHub organizations](http://github.com/blog/674-introducing-organizations).
+I converted vim-scripts last week.
+
+Result: catastrophe.
+
+The first problem was that GitHub
+[doesn't allow you to follow](http://groups.google.com/group/github/browse_thread/thread/16d6bb44db891568)
+an organization
+[(support issue)](http://support.github.com/discussions/feature-requests/950-feature-request-follow-this-organization).
+Without warning, everyone following vim-scripts was bumped out. Sorry!
+I tried creating a [vim-scraper](http://github.com/vim-scraper)
+user for interested people to follow but that had problems of its own.
+
+Besides, who would think to follow vim-scraper when you want to watch
+what's happening on vim-scripts? This organization
+was barely 10 minutes old and already it was starting to smell putrid.
+
+After a few more hours I managed to work around all of the problems except
+[one showstopper](http://github.com/develop/develop.github.com/commit/4ec1902ca7573aeacdf29866556fcf0ac827b290#comments).
+Oh well! There's no way to convert an organization back into a user
+so I had to delete vim-scripts and start from scratch.
+
+Even if GitHub fixes all the problems we ran into, I don't think I'll
+convert back any time soon. Feel free to follow vim-scripts without
+having to worry about what GitHub's confusion about what it means to
+follow an organization.
+
+So, we're back to where we started.
+The best way to watch what's happening on vim-scripts? Follow it!

+The first 1000 scripts have been uploaded. Things are moving at about
+one script every 15 seconds so all 3229 scripts should be up before tomorrow.
+When the counter hits 3231, we're done!
