Hi,

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

Since your project does not seems to be part of the
GNU project yet, we cannot accept that project name
for it.  There are some non-GNU programs
with names such as gnuplot and gnuboy, but they are
not hosted in Savannah.

In the projects we host we want to keep the distinction
 between GNU and non-GNU projects, to avoid confusion.

If your project is accepted into the GNU project, you
 can change its name later on.

I know that PhpGroupWare is part of the GNU project, but I did not
found information about this new project, which, even if it's linked
to PhpGroupWare, is not part of PhpGroupWare.

If your new project has already been dubbed a GNU project by rms,
would like to forward the mail with that information?

Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned
above.  The way we handle pending projects makes it difficult to keep
track of projects that have been answered but have not been approved
yet, so we erase them and we ask you to register the project again every
time some change has to be done to the registration, and users might
have to register their projects several times.  Thank you for your
understanding.

Some users find it useful to use the big re-registration URL provided in
the acknowledgment e-mail you received after registration.

Regards,
