Well, we can keep doing our work. The FSF decided to keep this project
alive, and I'll work on it.
Please, read the RMS's reply to a Jimmy Wales email.

I'm willing to accept the idea of Hector leading an "alternative
encyclopedia pages" project. By "accept" I mean that if that's
what you guys want to do, I will get behind it and support it publicly
100%.
RMS: Thank you. That is what we should do, because it is a way that
everyone involved can feel good enough about it to participate.
But if Hector's project is going to be an _encyclopedia_, in the sense
of accepting only encyclopedia articles, then there is no need for two
projects at all.
RMS: The practical difference is that he wants not to have editorial
control. But also, he wants to be independent. He doesn't want to be
working under a company. I think he has found people with similar
ideas who want to work with him.
RMS: Maybe there is no inherent reason why a project of this kind should
not be part of Nupedia. But given the personal situation, I think
that it needs to be separate. It will enable him and the people he
has found to keep working in a way they feel comfortable with, and
produce useful work.
RMS:So let's go ahead with the plan that the GNU Project endorses Nupedia
principally, but also sponsors the alternate encyclopedia to
complement Nupedia.
