You might not recommend, but I use Trisquel. Depends on Debian. The
question is, does GNU want us to spent time on those projects, or
Is that precious time better spent elsewhere.
That is up to each maintainer to decide. If you think a GNU project
is useful, or you enjoy using then the

groups, 2 different organizations, with

A broad exclusion that Trisquel isn't ready for "commercial products"

The fact alone that it is part of Debian says ferret has its use.
Although the popularity is declining.
It is interesting to mention at ferrets website that it is used by a
university, I did not check if this is the case.
Thanks for the mention RMS!
I need some time to prepare, since it's not a simply discontinue, but a
replacement. No hurry.
Best regards.

Ferret works well and it is indeed used by at least 60 Debian users, as

I'm the author and maintainer of GNU XmlAT, I've been considering
obsolete it for years. And I'd like to add other new meaningful project to
GNU.
Here's a brief reason.
XmlAT was used to convert XML to s-expr as an intermediate
presentation for multiple cases. And it can be output to other

Quoting a...@gnu.org:
If package is not in Debian GNU/Linux, for me this indicates nothing
that relates to GNU packages, unless there is some specific discussion
related to such specific package, or if there is specific bug report.

Alive is usable program. What means "inactive"?
