I'm still talking to RMS, and thinks are going very well in my opinion.

It is difficult to say right now just where we'll all land in this
thing.  :-)  But whatever we all decide on (and it isn't just me
and Hector and RMS deciding, it is the entire Nupedia community
_and_ the 'bug-gnupedia' community, obviously!) I will do my best
to make sure that it is inclusive and balanced.  Even if some of
us decide to do different things (or the same thing in different ways),
at least from my end there will be no obstructionism.

I think Hector might be deferring quite a bit for the simple
reason that 'gnupedia' doesn't really exist -- other than an
announcement and this mailing list, there isn't anything else.
It would be different, of course, if 'gnupedia' were already an
ongoing project, with a social history and everything.  :-)
