I checked with Karl, and the new package will be called the GNU 
Metadata Exchange Utilities.  The "canonical" name, or whatever that's 
called, will be `metaexchange".  I'd like that to be the name of the 
directory at Savannah, if it's alright with you.

OK, I'll write to them once the new Savannah project is available, and 
I've uploaded the webpages.

No need for this.  No one's ever posted to it.  I think there are two 
subscribers.  I can post an announcement and then delete it, once the 
new one is available.  I'll check the admin page to see whether I can 
delete it myself.  It should be `help-metaexchange', but I'll apply for 
this in the official way.

Don't bother.  I can upload the sources again myself.  I'm not 
concerned about the log entries.  I'd like to change the directory 
structure, anyway.  There are some things that I won't keep, either.

If you just change the names, it should be alright.  If you let me know 
when you set it up, I'll edit it as soon as possible.

Sure, I think three months would be sufficient.

Please let me know if there's anything else I need to do.  I'll check rms' 
mail again to see what, if anything, I need to do to apply for the hosting 
at Savannah.

Thanks,
