Please, take a look at

In my point of view, if there are no others relation between
projects but the fact that there are promoted by you
University, you should make a proper project account for any
distinct project.


About PHP, MySQL, savannah dont provide currently this
service. It should be possible if someone set up this and
can support this for 12 month.

I've got some general questions related to savannah.

Me, and a few people at the University of Calgary are 
trying to start up an opensource software club.  We 
want to recruit students to help us improve the 
OpenSource movement by targetting specific 
needs/application in the OpenSource community.  
Because the university won't/can't give us any 
computers or servers to help us out, (at least for the 
time being), and we need some place to host our 
projects, mailling lists, project pages, and information 
on how to sign up.  

I like savannah and it's idea and would like to use it 
to it's fullest capabilities if possible.  

As of right now we are still at the recruiting stage, and 
are not sure what project we will undertake to begin 
with. So my first question is whether we should start a 
new project for everything we do?  Or should we 
have one central project and host everything 
underneath it?  I would kind of prefer the latter as then 
we would have one central place to store stuff.

Next, if we were to want to have some sort of scripts 
set up on this site, could we set up sign up forms with 
CGI/PHP or is that functionality provided by 
Savannah, and if so how could we best utilize it.  We 
will need to get people's names/email address etc, 
and they may or may not have accounts when they 
first sign up. 

Third, Any suggestions as to places where we could 
best make our impact in the opensource community 
would be greatly appreciated.  We don't yet know 
how many people we will be able to recruit so smaller 
projects would be ideal.

Thanks for your time and for this effort(the savannah 
site).

yours sincerely,
Lakin Wecker
