Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Task #14028: Farming Applications

[Karl Berry]

    This application relates to a proposal to create free software for 
    agriculture, rather than any specific program per se.  I don't know if 
    there is a Savannah policy on that.  

The (not 100% hard-and-fast) policy is not to do it.  People should have
code, not just an idea, before it makes sense to register a software
project.

    I think this is an excellent idea which could do a lot of good.

Agreed.

    someone reach out to the applicant with support and encouragement.  I 
    would be happy to do that; 

Please do.

    I have actually been thinking about trying to 
    develop software for agriculture myself.

Great!

Thanks,
Karl
