Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of GmOne

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Your project was approved. As a side note, please avoid using
GNU in the name of the project before it's officialy part of the GNU
project. It risks to confuse people and lead them to think it is part
of the GNU project. You can simply say that the project name is
gmone, without expanding it ;-)

        Thanks for your help,
