Please include an (temporary) URL pointing to the source code.  The
description you gave when registering will not be read by the general
public. If you are still concerned with privacy, however, you can
forward the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early.  
For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and statement permitting copying at the
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.


Please also include a description less API-centric that describes the
main features of your application.

Regards,
