Re: FreeType website modernisation

[Manuel Colom]

Same here:
Glad to talk to you again Werner!

I’ve just created an account on Gitlab:
Username: @coolmanlume
I’ll wait for your Gitlab freetype-web repo credentials.

So, yes, all this is OK for me.

But I’m looking forward to getting started.

Talk soon,
Best,
Manu
