9    @c On behalf of the Volunteer Coordinators, I humbly request that anyone
10    @c who adds an entry to this file please add a pointer to some more info
11    @c about that project.  People ask us (gvc@gnu.org) for more information
12    @c about these projects and it's embarrassing to ask around and find out
13    @c that nobody remembers what the project was supposed to be, or do.
14    @c We don't need a huge elaborate ISO-9001 document, just a couple of
15    @c paragraphs or a URL or something that explains what the e.g. ``stalker''
16    @c project should do.  It will save us all time in the future.
