You are right.

It is strange since Savannah is the GNU alternative for sourceforge
and GNOME is an official part of the GNU Project too.

Also, sourceforge now promotes explicitely proprietary softwares. 

As part of the GNU Project, GNOME should avoid references to
sourceforge as possible.
address@hidden , would you like avoid references to sourceforge
for instance at
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html#starting ?

We can consider this project as a documentation project. I was not
aware of thoses advices.
You\'re welcome to resubmit your project, if you want.

Hi,

I\'m evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

I\'m sorry but from your description I do not understand what your project is
about. Are you translating the source code of Gnome, Openoffice and KDE?
or are you translating documentation about those systems? the purpose of this
project is to publish the translated documents? or to maintain some programs
you use for the translation? what is \"code nds\"?

Please register your project again with a more detailed technical description
(half a page will do). You should also indicate the licenses of the original
documents you are going to translate, to see if we can host your project here.

Regards,
Jaime

In fact, this project has been previously proposed and was discarded
for the same reason. 

The project authors has clarified his position by mail but have
forgotten to add those comments in his new registration.

The project goal is, if I\'m not mistaking, about publishing translated
documents.
