Thanks to you both for stepping up. I think this is an important project both functionally (I think it will help improve quality control in GNU, stimulate more frequent releases by projects, and make GNU programs more available to users) and perceptually, for showing people what it is that GNU does on an ongoing basis. Please keep in touch about promoting this project to the public. Any time you see an opportunity for doing it, the FSF can help. I'm on this mailing list, but a direct mail to me at [email protected] can't hurt. -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://identi.ca/johnsu01 | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
