CFV: Project sponsorship: Small language changes

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Neal,

Thank you for your concern.  As far as I know, there  is no issue here 
other than the sometimes glacial pace at which things happen. I would 
look to Joe's blog for the latest news on this project, and I presume 
that he will have the repositories created when there is something to 
put in them.
