Anyone knows how to get in touch with the authors of ConTEXT (http://www.contexteditor.org/index.php)?

Hate to see it going away (it's on Google Code), and willing to help migrating to a different repository host and keep it moving. But would like to keep the original authors in the loop...

    That would be in fact very good. Strangely enough, the name does not occur to me.

    Good idea. I still use ConTEXT as my main non-Delphi editor on Windows.

    Is this related to this forum thread? https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?threadID=153459&tstart=0

    Ilya S The mail address (not sure I want to write a paper mail, though) and the email are also in the contact information. Waiting for an answer... 

    David Millington Yes.

    Well it looks like they are gone and the editor has not been updated since 2011 which is sad. I have been using Notepad++ as a general method to do quick Edits and it does allow for multiple language settings.

    I guess anyone can export the source code to their own github account to maintain the source on their own.

    Richard Baroniunas We know this can be done, and it is also fully legal. Was just trying to get in touch with them before doing that.

    I will grab a copy and put it on bitbucket as a secondary backup.

    Marco Cantu : Briefly examining the code, it's in a bit of shambles. Maybe you can resurrect it?

    Might be interesting to change it a bit, move it to this editor, for example: https://github.com/bonecode/TBCEditor

    I already compiled the code with Seattle and fixed some Unicode bugs. The editor seems to work correctly. But before publishing the code we are trying to contact the original maintainers.
