Re: [BUG] Info JS does not work [9.5.3 (release_9.5.3-467-g2bd34e @ /Users/salutis/src/org-mode/lisp/)]

Hi,

the https://orgmode.org/org-info.js file is available again, thanks
for reporting this.

Indeed, it would be good to have someone as a maintainer.  I suspect
the code is stable is still useful to some users.

I'd like the main Org repository to focus on Org's core, i.e. what is
sync'ed with GNU Emacs core.

I think this nice js hack should live in a dedicated repository, along
with a dedicated HTML exporter that enables it.

I'm sure it's not a good idea to add network-dependent tests :)

Also, we don't want everyone to use https://orgmode.org/org-info.js as
the source for the script, as this would put the server under too much
load pressure, people should rather host the script themselves.
