Hi,

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

Unfortunately, I'm unable to access this page. It does not even seem
to be a 404 error but a misconfiguration: my web browser tell me that
"www is an unknow host". But http://waloo.homelinux.net works well.
So I assume that http://waloo.homelinux.net/webengine redirect to
something like http://www/*

Can you provide another url?

Please register your project once more with the changes 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,
