The code is not publically available that's why I'm was considering
Savannah.

It's not privacy I'm concerned about see above. In the off-chance that
this is a form letter, it'd be cool to change deal with this type of
situtation.

What changes? That I should give a URL for a source that not
available by URL?

Actually, I was looking for some understanding myself. It doesn't
strike me as all that odd for someone to want to register a project
for something that is not available by URL publically or
privately. That may be part of why they are registering - to make it
publically (or privately) available. Therefore, unless you've
addressed this contingency you are making extra work all around,
i.e. for both you and me in this situation. And even if it *is* odd
this situation should be accounted for in the instructions.

Thank your for both your understanding *and* proactivity. Thank you
for reducing the frustration other users may experience if they have
this situtation.

However given your current policy of handling pending projects, I'll
wait until you look over the attached tar file and wait instructions
as to how to proceed before reregistering.
