If you are interested in the broad range of vi clones that have existed (and still exist) over the decades, one of the better resources on the subject was published by Sven Guckes:

I hope that someone takes up the mantle here, because M. Guckes collected more information than the O'Reilly book had, and there's more to be had from the decade since.

* Vim desktop Calendar *

printable #vim desktop calendar 2025

for #BramMoolenaar （米勒） https://moolenaar.net/#Calendar

A desktop #calendar for 2025, made from one sheet of paper. After folding, one side contains a useful 12-month calendar. On the other side there is brief information about ICCF-Holland, and Vim.

Das Sommerloch scheint es in der FLOSS-Bubble dieses Jahr nicht zu geben: openELA wird gegründet, Vanilla OS 2 und Asahi Linux Fedora Remix werden vorgestellt. Mit AMD Inception und Intel Downfall gibt zwei neue CPU-Schwachstellen. #HashiCorp verwundert mit einer Lizenzänderung und einige Google Chrome-Entwickler befinden sich auf Abwegen. Eine Nachricht überschattet aber alles: der viel zu frühe Tod des #vim-Autors Bram Moolenaars.

I could not imagine myself using anything else than #Vim, so thank you #BramMoolenaar.
