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 address@hidden can't hurt.
