Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

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


Your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its
current name.

While there are non-GNU programs with names that include 'gnu', such as
gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.
 We want to maintain the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its name.
You can do this by asking us.


Also, we need a detailed technical description that specifies requirements
such as programming languages and external libraries.  It should be at least
one-half a page.


In addition, before approval, we prefer to see your source code, so we can
check it for legal issues (even non-functional code is OK). Among other
checks, we will check that the source files contain appropriate copyright
notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every
copyrightable file. Our review helps catch potential legal issues early.

If you need Savannah right now, please explain to us why; otherwise, please
resubmit the project when you have source code.

If we approve your project without source code, we will review the code in
the near future (or better, at your request). If then the source code does not
meet our requirements (for example, non-free dependencies), we will then
discuss the issue and possibly remove the project from Savannah.


Do you need the Savannah services now, and if yes do you agree with the above
conditions?

Regards.
