I asked confirmation to the GNU maintainers, and I will send you the  
list of projects to move.

Incidentally, do you think we could make a redirection for GNU projects  
so that hitting www.nongnu.org/<gnuproject>/abc/xyz.html goes to www. 
gnu.org/software/abc/xyz.html?

Ok, thanks.

Do you think it is safe if I rename 'dink' to 'freedink' on Savannah  
while it is still synchronizing with www.nongnu.org/? I do not care if  
www.nongnu.org/dink/ is not reachable for a while, since it will also  
be moved to www.gnu.org. I just want to know whether that could cause a  
problem in the sync script on www.gnu.org.
