Dear Stefan, >> I've just added sisu-mode.el to Emacs's `elpa' branch in the >> Bzr repository.  It will appear in the GNU ELPA next time we update it >> from the branch. >> I do not know whether you are still the correct person to address this email to, but it is easiest to continue the trail where we last left off.

"Evil-mode" helm, org-mode have made serious inroads to my dependence on vim, now "spacemacs" as well ... but one of the results is that I need more ram for my laptop(s). Kofi and Kevin, greetings and thank you.
