We do not have a document just to state Savannah's goals, but we insist in
various places that Savannah (which extends to both savannah.gnu.org and
savannah.nongnu.org) host only software projects and software documentation
projects. This does not have to do with any deep believes or any mandates, but
just with the practical fact that we are a very small number of volunteers
running this service, and our expertise is just in the field of software.

On the other hand, I think your project might interest the FSF and if they
accept to sponsor it, it will be automatically hosted in
Savannah. Other non-software projects are being sponsored by the FSF. I advise
you to get in touch directly with Richard Stallman (address@hidden) and tell him
about your project.
