Anyone may create public or\nprivate branches of these applications. A set of Committers will\nmaintain a master branch for each application; the initial Committers\nare Bob N4HY, Eric KE5DTO, Oba JA7UDE, and Steve N5AC. Packaged\nversions of MMTTY, MMVARI, and MMSSTV assembled from the master\nbranches will continue to be available via web pages administered by\nKen VE5KC:\n\nhttp://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmtty.php\n\nhttp://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmvari.php\n\nhttp://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php\n\nSource code for these applications is available via GitHub, courtesy\nof FlexRadio.
