Currently, on the official savannah site, we are only permitting programs
that are officially GNU software.  (We are beginning to add functionality
this so that any GPL-compatible software can be hosted, but that is not
completely done yet.)

We can certainly evaluate your software to see if it can officially become
GNU software.

To make your program into official GNU software
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html#GNUsoftware), you will
first need to agree to follow GNU policies.  This is somewhat formalized,
because each maintainer of an official GNU package agrees to stand with the
GNU project on important matters of software freedom.

I have included a brief summary of the major policies with this message.
For a more detailed description, please read the GNU Maintainers Guide
(http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain_toc.html) in detail before you agree.

If you are agreeable to these policies, the next step is for the program
to be evaluated for inclusion in GNU.  To do this, I need the following
things in a self-contained email:

   * A short (paragraph or so) description of the program.
   * A URL where the source code can be downloaded.

(I realize that you may have given me all that information already in
 previous messages, but to get the process moving, please send it again in
 a self-contained email so that I can easily pass it on to our
 evaluators.)
