https://www.applevis.com/blog/important-update-applevis-founder-david-goodwin-future-applevis An Important Update on AppleVis Founder David Goodwin and the Future of AppleVis Dear AppleVis Community, At his request, I wanted to provide you an update on AppleVis' Founder and Editor-in-Chief, David Goodwin; as well as the future of AppleVis. As many of you already know, David Goodwin founded AppleVis in July 2010. Since that first day, David has worked tirelessly, day in and day out, to develop and maintain the AppleVis website. While myself and the rest of the <https://www.applevis.com/team> AppleVis Editorial Team have supported David with the daily operations of the site, David has been the driving force behind the website--both in terms of the ideas and, on a more practical level, having sole responsibility for the technical implementation. AppleVis would not be here today were it not for David, and David has undertaken all of this work for the community on an entirely voluntary basis. Early last week, David was hospitalized in the ICU due to a very serious and life-threatening medical issue. If you have emailed David within the last week and are still in need of assistance, please contact us using our <https://www.applevis.com/contact> Contact Form and another member of our Editorial Team will reach out to you. Looking ahead, I want to be up front that right now, there are a lot of unknowns. As I mentioned previously, David took sole responsibility for the technical aspects of operating the AppleVis website. While this approach allowed for a founder's visionary leadership and rapid decision-making, it also now leaves us with a tremendous void and a lot of very important decisions that must be made. During this time, we kindly ask for and appreciate your patients as we do our best to continue day-to-day site operations and figure out what is next for AppleVis. We will update everyone when we have more information to share.
