==== Description: ====

Reason for applying for a Savannah project: I was told that it would be best
to host the documentation for Muse on GNU's website.  Muse is a project which
has all of its copyright assigned to the Free Software Foundation.

Emacs Muse is an authoring and publishing environment for Emacs. It
simplifies the process of writing documents and publishing them to various
output formats.

Muse consists of two main parts: an enhanced text-mode for authoring
documents and navigating within Muse projects, and a set of publishing styles
for generating different kinds of output. Muse consists of two main parts: an
enhanced text-mode for authoring documents and navigating within Muse
projects, and a set of publishing styles for generating different kinds of
output.

What makes Muse distinct from other text-publishing systems is a modular
environment, with a rather simple core, in which "styles" are derived from to
create new styles. Much of Muse's overall functionality is optional. For
example, you can use the publisher without the major-mode, or the mode without
doing any publishing; or if you don't load the Texinfo or LaTeX modules, those
styles won't be available.

The Muse codebase is a departure from emacs-wiki.el version 2.44. The code
has been restructured and rewritten, especially its publishing functions. The
focus in this revision is on the authoring and publishing aspects, and the
"wikiness" has been removed as a default behavior (available in the optional
`muse-wiki' module). CamelCase words are no longer special by default.

One of the principal aims in the development of Muse is to make it very easy
to produce good-looking, standards-compliant documents.



==== Other Comments: ====
I believe Emacs Muse has already been approved by the FSF, but I'm not
completely certain.  We show up as "MUSE" in the master copyright listing.
