Hi,
If the specifications of ACML cannot be modified they do not
qualify as free documentation and therefore cannot be hosted on
Savannah. Given the fact that you belong to FreeDevelopers, I guess
your intention is not really to provide a proprietary format. Could
you please re-submit your project explaining the rationale of your
approach ?
Cheers,
