Hello,

  I am evaluating your project for approval. I cannot reach the source 
file URL (403 Forbidden) at studentendorf-vauban.de. I'd like to suggest 
to adopt a less generic name for your project, Savannah is a crowded 
place. Something like 'ding-es-de' for instance.

  Please resubmit this project considering the items above. Regards,

Vincent
