Indeed, the current map is not perfect. We'll try to improve
it during the Savannah rewrite.

There is no discrimination between GNU and non GNU. But
since Savannah is the main GNU hosting site, people need to
be informed if one project is indeed a GNU project.

About the log-in thing, it is just a requirement of the
original SF code. To be logged allow to get direct mail
answers, so it tends to speed up things. This is by no way a
legal thing, since we just know a email adress which is not
sufficient to find anyone. To be logged is just practical
for everyone.

Hope it answers your questions.

Regards,

Guillaume.

I am interested in seeing how your savannah site works.
Unfortunately, the differences between your site and
other development management systems is difficult to
navigate.

For example, the best place I can think to click is on
the Software Map link under Software. Clicking this
link takes me OFFSITE and this does not allow me to
locate items under your GUI subsystem. I would prefer
to see a simple list of categories, but remain on this
site.

FYI - I did not really like every feature of
sourceforge, but I can see why you are hoping to win
their patrons.

On another topic, Why does it seem like you are
discriminating against non-GNU software projects? I
have only been on the site for a few minutes, and I am
thinking I would rather risk opening a development
management account with another alternative.

What other options are out there?

Why do all these systems mandate that I "Log in" - do
you profit from real world name associations or is it a
legal recourse?
