Re: Web site goes public tomorrow

Attached is an updated FAQ incorporating suggestions by Jonathan, Ricardo, and Mark Galassi. I clarified the private mailing list issue, hopefully addressing Mark’s and Ricardo’s concerns.

I added links regarding projects that “left”. That said, GNU being an informal organization, it’s always been enough to say “I’m out” to effectively be out, where “being out” means having your own governance model and rules independent of GNU and its leadership. I’ve tried to clarify that a bit. That you can be out while still being “GNU in name” contributes to much confusion.

We could aim to publish it later today or tomorrow if there are no more comments.

# Why didn’t you try to effect change from the inside? We did! It goes back to [at least ten years back](/en/blog/2021/04/kicking-off-the-gnu-assembly/).
