There's no need to play word games here. If you don't think your
software is GNOME software (and hence don't want to use GNOME cvs) but
rather fits better in the wider GNU arena and on Savannah, just tell me
that, and that you hence want to use the Translation Project. I'm just
trying to list the translation project options here; there's no need to
feel offended. Just tell me what you want and which translation project
you'd like to use, so we know what we should do with the existing
translations and where we should direct translators in the future.
