Hi David Decotigny:
You didn't send an URL to download the code of your project, can you
send me the code to my email (address@hidden)?
I wish to review the code to catch potential legal issues early and
see how big is the package, thats because Savannah does not host very
big projects, for space and bandwidth reasons. For example, we do not
host GNU/Linux distributions.
If this will be the case we suggest you split your project into
several smaller ones, and submit each of these separately.
Regards
