Hello Karl,

I read the wiki pages, things make much more sense now.

Indeed, I am more interested in the Savannah (Savane?) frontend/backend code 
than in the Savannah administration tasks.

If I may ask - is there an interest in working on the front-end code or the 
back-end architecture?
Or is there already an active on-going project?
Or is there an interest but no time / developers ?
Or no interest?
I didn't completely understand from the statement about "FusionForge" what is 
the situation.
I tried testing "savane" locally and failed, but now I realized it's 
"savane-cleanup" perhaps that should be used?

Thanks,
