Hi,

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

Please register your project again including a URL
(could be temporary) where we can find the source code.
The description you give during project registration will be
read by Savannah administrators and not by the general public;
if you are concerned with privacy, you can
send me a copy of the code by e-mail,

We would like to look at your source code, even if it is still
not functional, to help you fix potential legal issues which
would be harder to correct after the project gets approved.
For example, to release your program properly under the GPL,
you should write copyright notices and copying permission statements
at the beginning of every source code file,
as explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.
