+
+Sunshine, Themerr, and Koko are getting dedicated GitHub organizations. Each project will have a clearer home
+and identity while remaining part of LizardByte, with our shared community and support.
+
+The moves are being prepared now and will happen in stages. Until a repository has transferred, keep using
+its current location in the [LizardByte organization](https://github.com/LizardByte).
+
+## Where the projects are going
+
+| GitHub organization                                 | Repositories moving from LizardByte                        | Planned project website   |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| [KokoStreamTV](https://github.com/KokoStreamTV)     | `Koko`                                                     | `koko.lizardbyte.dev`     |
+| [SunshineStream](https://github.com/SunshineStream) | `Sunshine`, `awesome-sunshine`                             | `sunshine.lizardbyte.dev` |
+| [Themerr](https://github.com/Themerr)               | `Themerr`, `ThemerrDB`, `Themerr-jellyfin`, `Themerr-kodi` | `themerr.lizardbyte.dev`  |
+
+**SunshineStream** will be home to Sunshine, our self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight, and
+awesome-sunshine, the collection of Sunshine tools, scripts, guides, and companion software.
+**Themerr** will bring the theme song manager and ThemerrDB together under one project organization.
+**KokoStreamTV** will be home to Koko, our self-hosted media server, which remains under development.
+
+The archived Themerr-jellyfin and Themerr-kodi repositories will move with the rest of the Themerr family
+and remain archived. The unified Themerr application continues to support Plex and Jellyfin.
+
+## Why make this change?
+
+Project organizations give contributors and users a focused place to find each project's repositories and
+related work. They also make the relationship between the projects easier to understand: Sunshine, Themerr,
+and Koko each have their own identity under the LizardByte umbrella.
+
+LizardByte will continue to provide shared tooling, community guidelines, and support. Our central website
+and community remain the place to discover and follow the wider LizardByte family.
+
+## Websites and Themerr updates
+
+The project websites will use the subdomains listed above. The current Sunshine and ThemerrDB pages at
+`app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/` and `app.lizardbyte.dev/ThemerrDB/` are planned to become forwarding pages
+that guide visitors to the new sites.
+
+ThemerrDB's data address will also change. Themerr users will need to install an updated release that uses
+the new address when that change goes live. Follow the Themerr release notes for the upgrade details.
+
+## Following the moves
+
+For now, continue using the existing repositories and releases. We will update project links and organization
+profiles as each move is completed. After a repository transfers, update your bookmarks and Git remotes to
+its new organization.
+
+You can follow [SunshineStream](https://github.com/SunshineStream), [Themerr](https://github.com/Themerr),
+and [KokoStreamTV](https://github.com/KokoStreamTV) for project updates, and use the
+[LizardByte support center](https://app.lizardbyte.dev/support) for community and support links.
