Hi,

Despite the fact that your project is interesting, I found the name
misleading. It does not make clear the purpose of your project.

In fact, it's a mode for emacs beginners, isn't it?

Also, there's usefull functions (consider files as part of a
project...) that could be a whole mode by themselves, since they may
be usefull for everyone, not especially beginners.

Could you resubmit your project with another name and, why not,
submitting a project for each important mode. (as tramp is hosted on savannah)

After, you should write to emacs people to tell them about your
project(s).

You can resubmit your project with ease by copying
the big re-registration URL provided in the mail
you receive at submission

        Regards,
