Well, as you can see in the /encyclopedia directory of the GNU webserver,
Nupedia is the GNU encylopedia project. So, 'what is this'??? Well, RMS
said that there's no need to destroy this project. But I say that
there's no need to have two equal projects (Jimmy has made
everything to change the original Nupedia idea to the idea of GNUPedia).
The last thing, is that RMS said that editorial control is not a bad
idea... Make your own conclusions.

So, if you want, the GNE project will still be alive. If you want to work
on it, go ahead, I'll help in everything I can. I'll also keep alive
this mailing list. But for now, the GNU encyclopedia project is Nupedia.
