[Freemint-list] FreeMiNT for 21st century

[Mark Duckworth]

I think Atariforge is still in pretty active use by the firebee project
isn't it?  I'd also vote for leaving the sparemint site where it is,
though I still cannot ftp to it.

If you have any issues here - time or otherwise - I would offer to take
over hosting and administration.

Thanks,
Mark
