Hi [redacted],
And happy new year
It’s been a while now and I hope I did overlook a mail from you. How is the external review going?
Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply. To be perfectly candid it would be a great relief if this grant application was agreed on.
As you may know, the birth of https://forgejo.org project was very demanding over the past three months. It will be the cornerstone of my work on F3 and I’m more optimistic than ever on the outcome. What I need now is a few months of quiet time to do the technical work that F3 deserves to become useful.
That being said, even if there is no grant I won’t give up. It will be more difficult sure, but it won’t be the end. Just so you know that, whatever the outcome is, I appreciate your continued support over the past years, including the time you spent on reviewing this proposal and monitoring its progress.
