Hi everyone, especially people who're new to the project after seeing it
on Hacker News recently.

Those of you who've been around for a while will remember that the end
of last year was a busy time for Spectrum because of funding cycles, and
that's going to be the case again this year.

As a result of this, I'm going to have my head down until the end of the
year, and am not planning on doing more This Week in Spectrum this year.
I love TWiS, but it takes hours to write every week I manage to get it
done, and I need to spend those hours elsewhere at the moment.  It'll be
back next year.

If you do still want to keep up with development (and I hope you do!),
I'm trying to talk in more detail about what I'm working on in the
#spectrum IRC channel.  There's been a good reaction to this so far, and
the conversation has been extremely lively for the last few days.  There
are consistently over 120 people in the channel now, which is amazing!

You can find information about how to join the channel through Matrix or
IRC on the website[1].

Hope to see you there!
