Hi,

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

Your project is not part of the GNU project, and as such, cannot be
a project of type `GNU'.  If your project is accepted, it will be
hosted at nongnu.org.

Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement,
not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software
that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty
close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more
information, read

Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above.

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.
