I would be happy to make some sort of contribution, but being
essentially a hobbyist programmer, I'm not sure how useful I could be.
I've never worked in any type of devlopment team.

Documentation is something I could contribute to, but not until next
year due to on-going commitments in 2023.

Certainly an "advert" for maintiners on AmForth's new home would be a
good thing; together messages on the socials.

Talking of maintenance, I note that avra (on Sourceforge) hasn't been
updated since 2019. Maybe it's completed?
