Hi,

this is me, guilty former Debian maintainer of vimoutliner package. I am
saying former, because I have got a new job with Red Hat Czech republic
and of course it means that I have switched all my computers to Fedora
(I didn't have to switch my home computers as well, but I have only one
brain and I didn't want to keep in it quirks of two distributions;
switching to Fedora was not that much problem, but switching to Gnome
from KDE is much more irritating; oh well -- I got paid for the
pain ;-)). Therefore, I had to declare vim-vimoutliner as orphaned (it
seems that Martin Krafft could pick up the package, but I am not sure
about that -- if he did, you would have certainly much better maintainer
than me ;-); if not than of course volunteers are welcome -- and you can
do with shortcuts whatever you want). Of course, that in due course I
will try to create VO package for Fedora/Extras (Debian-like volunteers'
managed part of Fedora), but it will probably take some time.

Concerning particular issue with different command prefixes, please,
read /usr/share/doc/vim-vimoutliner/README.Debian. I have IMHO explained
it there sufficiently. \ is a default command prefix for vim and
although many people on this list (Steve and Noel in the first place)
use ,, instead, I didn't feel like forcing vim-users extending their vim
with VO (which is the primary audience I am thinking about) to something
non-default.

Best,

Matěj

(Sorry, for not replying sooner, but I tried to post couple of
follow-ups to gmane.computer.editor.vim.outliner, but apparently there
is something screwed up with that server, so I have g.c.e.v.o read-only;
will try to investigate).
