I'm pleased to announce that nano will again part of the GNU family. After some discussions via email, we were able to find a way to keep the project inside GNU, while gaining a better understanding of the expectations of being a part of that system. Copyright assignments to GNU for nano will indeed not be required, but are of course encouraged when possible. Special thanks to Benno and RMS for working through all the issues at play in the discussion, and to Mike for setting up and running our various services while the project was in transition. While he's been functioning well in this role for some time, I wanted to clearly say that that Benno is and has been the official maintainer of nano for some time now. GNU's recognition of this is indeed a welcome and promising sign of things to come. As the project can always use more help, I'll be putting up a posting for someone to manage the Social Media accounts for nano. Although not Free Software, it's always nice to engage with our users via services like Twitter and other social platforms. Share and Enjoy! Chris A -- Chris Allegretta http://www.asty.org
