Package: francine
System name: francine
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

francine is an easy to configure themeable console login program. francine is 
compatible with today\'s standard login mechanisms, e.g. PAM. The look can 
easily be changed by using themes. Themes are a set of ANSI escape files. 
Additionally, francine can be programmed using John E. Davis\' S-Lang 
libraries. francine was first designed to run exclusively on GNU/Linux, but we 
also had it running on Debian GNU/Hurd without any modifications.

Our goal is to make francine a
- portable
- secure
- good-looking
login program.

francine is already around for more than one year, including the inclusion in 
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Actually, it\'s a spin-off from the 
fancylogin project due to dissensions between the two lead developers. 
francine\'s current website can be seen at http://francine.sourceforge.net/.

We\'d like to move to Savannah because sf.net became extremely unreliable since 
they started using non-free software.
