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

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        In order to use Savannah, each development project leader
should register the package as a separate and independant project. We
do not provide resources to host and manage download facilities.

        Also note that Savannah helps the Free Software movement,
which has a different philosophy from the Open Source movement. 

        Cheers,
