Brandon,
Thanks for writing back. I read that the project was no longer under dev,
but I misunderstood all of what that meant as far as a maintainer. I do
have an interest in the dotGNU project, so I'm glad the information is
still up on the website.

I'm definitely interested in volunteering, though being a maintainer might
be deeper than what I'm prepared for at the moment. Maybe being more
familiar with the community would help me. So I'm reading about these
projects on https://www.gnu.org/server/takeaction.html#unmaint which is
interesting. Seems like it would be helpful if someone went through and
filled in pages such as https://www.gnu.org/software/polyxmass/ so that it
has a little bit more of the GNU website feel instead of just a few lines
of text. Is that something that would be helpful? Is there a Savannah page
or an issue tracker for the GNU website itself?

I noticed the questionnaire for GNU projects. Is there one for new
volunteers? I'm still reading through these pages, so if there is maybe
I'll find it myself.

Thanks,
-Alan
