Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Sox - savannah.nongnu.org

[Jaime E . Villate]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Please register your project again with a different name. "Sox2 is the name of
a fairly well known project and it would cause too much confusion to have two
distinct projects with this name.

Also, if you have already written some code (even if its not functional) give
us a URL where we can take a look at it, mostly to give you advice on
licensing issues. If you have not written any code yet, please state that
explicitly in the new registration.

Regards,
Jaime
