Thanks for your offer! Frankly, I'm not sure if we want all that.

Actually, I would rather create a project on http://savannah.gnu.org/ -
it's a SourceForge clone for GNU software. It was created recently, and
the existing GNU projects are still migrating to Savannah. MC would fit
perfectly.

All the pages on www.gnu.org are now edited through CVS. In order to get
access to that page, I'll have to register the project on savannah.gnu.org
- it should be harmless even if we decide to host MC somewhere else.
Unless there are any serious objections, I'm going to register MC on
savannah.gnu.org in order to get access to that page. Of course, if Miguel
wants to register the project, he has the priority.

I think that if MC is not tied to GNOME or any other bigger project it can
be distributed from gnu.org.
