+`zeronet-conservancy` is a fork/continuation of [ZeroNet](https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet) project
 (that has been abandoned by its creator) that is dedicated to sustaining existing p2p network and developing
 its values of decentralization and freedom, while gradually switching to a better designed network
 
 ## No active maintainer warning
 
 This fork was created and maintained by @caryoscelus, but due to vanishing interest and in order to avoid having
-another one-person project, they stepped down. This means there currently is no active maintainer (you're are
-welcome to become one!), however some development might still happen.
