Re: What happened to ./contrib?

[Tim Cross]

The contrib directory has been broken out into its own git repository at
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib and the main org repository is moving
to be hosted on savannah.gnu.org (I think it is mirrored there already).

This is all in preparation for having the contrib extensions available
as an ELPA archive in the nonGNU ELPA repository and core org being
available in the GNU ELPA repository.

Things are in a transition stage at present, so there is still a bit of
documentation updates/fixes needed to be completed. Updates are being
sent to this list.
