Hi,

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

Is it a fork from emacs or something completely new?

If it's a fork, did you discuss with Emacs people before? If not,
would you like to do so? Maybe you can contribute to this project
directly. If your goals are too much incompatible, you're welcome to
start a new project on Savannah.

But the most problematic is the fact after browsing 1 minutes the THE
website, I'm still unable to determine whether it's free software or
not (OSI approval is not enough, we accept only GPL-compatible
software - the idea is to keep the ability to mix every projects hosted
here)  but I found out that the only precision is the ability to run
on "Mac OS 9 and on OS X under Classic" which is problematic too. We
only host softwares that can run with a completely free system.


Please register your project once more with the changes/informations mentioned
above.  The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times.  Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
