+  <h1>Update for NGI Zero Entrust: GNS to DNS Migration and Zone Management</h1>
+<p>
+  We are happy to announce that we have successfully completed two Milestones:
+  <ul>
+    <li>Milestone 2a: A GNS Registrar Backend.</li>
+    <li>Milestone 2b: A GNS Registrar Frontend.</li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+The resulting code can be found <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-gns-registrar.git/">in the usual place</a>.
+There are no tarballs available for the time being.
+The component is built with simplicity and privacy in mind: There are <b>no</b> accounts required; we also refrained from using JavaScript for the front end (for now).
+This component effectively replaces the "first-come, first-served" GNS name registration service previously shipped as part of GNUnet.
+Hence the service at <a href="https://fcfs.gnunet.org">https://fcfs.gnunet.org</a> has been replaced.
+The registrar integrates with <a href="https://www.taler.net">GNU Taler</a>, allowing you to test both functionalities at the same time!
+Don't worry, you do not have to use actual money, as you can use the demo currency from the <a href="demo.taler.net">Taler demonstrator</a> to register names for a relatively small portion of the play mone you receive when you sign up there.
+</p>
+<p>
+We encourage you to try it out now and register you own zone key.
+We plan to ship this zone in the default configuration of the upcoming GNUnet 0.21 release under the domain ".pin.gns.alt".
+Note that current releases are incompatible with GNUnet, and this also applies to the node connected to our registrar deployment.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Watch this space and the mailing list for updates!

+<p>
+  This work is generously funded by <a href="https://nlnet.nl">NLnet</a> as part of their <a href="https://nlnet.nl/entrust/">NGI Zero Entrust Programme</a>.
