[Savannah-hackers] Re: submission of Pixie - The magic data pixie - savannah.nongnu.org

[Steve Purkis]

Hi Mathieu,

Thank-you for your consideration of hosting Pixie at Savannah.  I'm 
writing to let you know that we have decided to host the project at 
SourceForge - this is due to the short-lived nature of the move (sorry, 
I wasn't aware of this when I applied):

        "... until we can bring it back under the Fotango umbrella
         I'd rather just import it into sourceforge, and then bring
         it back later once it is more practical. "
                -- James Duncan <address@hidden>

And a reluctance to change the project files (including licensing & 
copyright formats).

Cheers,
-Steve
