Re: [Savannah-users] Why it seems to be no activity on Savannah?

[André Z . D . A .]

Yes. I knew it was off-topic. Looking for activity in other projects, me and a 
few friends also found that Savannah seemed a bit unused. This is why I decided 
to post here. Sorry for this.

I'll check the other list, and its answer. I'll recheck why I didn't see it, 
since it has an answer.

Thank you very much for your attention.
