That's due to the fact that "chemeq" has been registered in Savannah as a
private project. It means that you can only see the main page in
savannnah.gnu.org/projects/chemeq, but you cannot see the CVS repository via
web. You can only access the CVS repository using the cvs client.

Please do not try to register it again, because it already exists and it's
active. We will just have to adjust it because it seems to me that when it was
approved some accidental mistakes were done by whoever approved it.

Please give me the following information:
 - Do you really want the project to be private? any particular reason for it?
 - Is chemeq really a GNU project? in other words: have you ever received an
   e-mail message from Richard Stallman saying "I hereby dub chemeq a GNU
   project..."?
 - Do you know the name of the person who approved your project on 2001/06/22?
   If you received a personal message from him, it would help me to sort out
   the situation if you sent me a copy of that message.

Cheers,
