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

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Could you please submit your project with a URL pointing to the
current code ? 

        Unless I'm mistaken, your project is not (yet ;-) part of the 
GNU project. Using the name gnuzz will lead people to think it is. Could
you please chose another name ? 

        Thanks for your patience,
