[pygame] Goodbye from me to the pygame community mailing list

[Jason Marshall <jmm0@xxxxxxxxx>]

pygame has been great for me. Reading pygame tutorials and writing my own pygame programs have helped me to gain Python proficiency, which has helped me in my career. I have enjoyed running pygame programs that you in the community have shared. I have enjoyed helping others.


However, I no longer have enough leisure time to enjoy writing and running pygame programs. Also, I am discouraged by the obsolescence of pygame (unreliable mailing list, vulnerable SiteSwing CMS that necessitates the unwelcoming account creation page, weak support for quickly-evolving mobile platforms). I have wished for the creation of an official pygame leadership team, which could continue to function when some of its members are busy with non-pygame priorities, but I am personally unable to authorize & empower such a team.


Therefore, I bid the pygame community and its mailing list farewell. Lately, I've been feeling guilty about my lack of contributions, so I will stop the e-mails so that they won't remind me of problems that I cannot solve. Thank-you, everybody, for the fun I've had, the knowledge I've gained, and even friendship outside of the context of pygame. If my life becomes more leisurely, I'll be back (unless I learn Lua).
