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. I hope this note finds you in good health.

ah, I copy this request to address@hidden

Please find attached sisu-mode.el and sisu-mode-autoloads.el updated to
for current sisu markup, and with corrections with regard to autoload
(re: the relevant filenames).

"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.

Ralph Amissah
