Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of QNXScreen

[Chris McKillop]

It is a tough call.  The upper layers (like apps) could possibly be
seen as separate projects.  Howver, the low-level details like drivers
and such will be directly tied to the hardware of the TuxScreen and is really
a "project".  

My main reasons for looking to Savannah is to provide a location that 
can host a mail-list for the project along with cvs access to the people
that wish to contribute to the project.  Perhaps our terminology is 
different and/or I missunderstand what Savannah is all about.  For example.
SF is currently hosting the Linux efforts for this device for exactly
the same reasons.  That is why I thought Savannah would be perfect.

        thanks for your speedy reply,
        chris
