Hi,
your project is very Debian specific and I do not think it is appropriate to
make it part of the GNU project. As a non-gnu project it is also too broad and
for many of the services you need you will find better support at debian.org.
For instance, there is already a Debian Packages Description Translations
server set up for several other language; you just have to ask its coordinator
to open a Turkish section for you. The Debian Turkish Howtos should be sent to
the Debian Documentation Project. The spell cahecker is a very good candidate
to become a Savannah project, but you should submit it as a single project and
not as part of a mega-project.
