ETA: On their website, riseupandsing.org, the editors Annie Patterson & Peter Blood specifically say "We are working with many others to carry on the life-long work of Pete & Toshi Seeger, empowering people to create a better world through singing together. This site provides resources and support for this work. " THey're putting together another songbook, Rise Again, with another 1200 songs including some more modern ones, and Pete Seeger wrote the preface for that.
(THey will have a dilemma, though: if I recall correctly, Stan Rogers' song Mary_Ellen Carter, whence the "Rise Again" chorus comes, is in the *first* book!)
