In savannah-content/register/projectname_test.txt: 


Our aim is to host free software projects, and we want to encourage
  the public to think of them as free software projects.  A project
  name that says "open" is likely to encourage people to think of
  the project as "open source" instead of "free software".  Would
  you please choose a project name with "free" instead of "open"?
  If you think there is an important reason to use the name "open"
  in this particular project name, please add comment about it in
 your registration - you can do this at the confirmation step.
<br>Without statement about it, the registration will be discarded
 in any case!
