Re: [Savannah-hackers] New Project Question

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hello,

During the registration process, your will be asked whether you want  
your project to be evaluated so as to be part of the GNU project.

It is not required at all, and most of the projects hosted at Savannah  
are non-GNU (as show the statistics box in the home page).

You can check this URL to know what it exactly means to become a GNU  
package:
https://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=5802&question=What_does_it_mean_to_become_a_GNU_package.txt

Incidentally, we cannot approve new projects right now because we are  
working on some internal changes at Savannah. If time is crucial for  
you, you may want to check gna.org, that offers the same kind of  
services.
