A spinoff group (which looks like it might not involve Stallman) seems to be forming, and I've put in my word to be a part of that. So we'll see what happens.

It's interesting watching how much the fanaticism of the FSF is helping the group sideline itself. Last year at a conference, I watched a FSF member give a talk bemoaning the fact that they can't get anyone to join Emacs development anymore and heartily encouraging all his listeners to contribute to Emacs, all completely oblivious of all of the reasons why lively Emacs development might not be an appropriate place to be funneling youthful development efforts in 2010.
