[Savannah-hackers] submission of Adaptive Domain Environment > Confidential?

[Mathieu Roy]

Is savannah beggining to be a secret place with "confidential" projets?

Recently, requesting this status, a project was rejected. Is this 
project so secret that only Loic have the right to know what do you 
plan to do during the registration procedure and why someone can 
succesfully do a registration that would be rejected for anyone else?

I'm really not fine with this ("Confidential. Please create in private 
mode and ask address@hidden for
 detailed information.": is savannah about freedom or about 
autocracy?) and I think that anyone should be able to know why a 
particular project is hidden from the public.

The FSF projects are because they are not software nor documentation 
projects.

And about this one: why?

If it is not a software project, why should we accept this one since 
many others non-software projects has been rejected?
Does a special clause, allowing to accept for his familiar what is 
unacceptable for the others "normal" savannah users, exist?

Hope to get some clear and lawfull explanations about this (Free 
Software is transparency, hey ?). If it's not the case, I really don't 
understand why we ask the "commoners" to write a complete description 
and maybe things are not what they seem. :(

Regards,


PS: the goal is not to disturb you but, well, I must admit that I'm 
some kind of crappy idealist...
I'm sure nice explanations exist...
