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

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Since newhurd is unrelated to the hurd kernel, it is maybe a
good idea to chose a different name ? When I first saw it, I thought
it was a new generation of the hurd kernel and I guess most people will
be confused in this way.

        Could you please submit your project with a different name ?

        Thanks for your understanding,
