Right.

I understand.  I could re-apply for a sub-project just encompassing my
initial course, which is a High School-level introductory CS course.

Of course Savannah doesn't owe me anything, but this will leave me looking
for resources to manage the much larger overall project.

Is there a document outlining Savannah's goals?  Clearly something like
the FCP is beyond the FSF's goals, but the existence of
savannah.nongnu.org indicates to me that there is some level of support
for projects that aren't directly within the FSF mandate . . .

Please advise.
