A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Soeren D. Schulze <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: voc-get
System name: voc-get
Type: non-GNU

Description:
voc-get is a free vocabulary learning (I ponder whether ``training'' might be a 
better word) program.  It is currently hosted at SourceForge, but for some 
reasons, I would like to switch to Savannah:

1. I would like to publish Free Software rather than Open Source software, and 
at SourceForge, it might be considered Open Source even if I explicitly call it 
Free Software.
2. I moreover wish to dissociate from some other SourceForge inconveniences, 
such as Microsoft adversiting on the top of a page.
3. It seems like SourceForge limits the access for non-paying users more and 
more while getting terribly commercial.  (I do not think commercial is bad in 
all cases, but there are examples what competition inflicts to software.)
4. And finally, the SourceForge software seems even unreliable sometimes.  For 
example, pages are sometimes generated incompletely.

A description what voc-get is and what it does and finally the source code (not 
including the dozens of open CVS sandboxes :) is available on

http://voc-get.sourceforge.net

I am afraid I am currently its only hacker, but voc-get is not dead at all, 
although the user interface is still a bit incomplete.  (It is not seriously 
usable for non-hackers yet.)
Nevertheless, voc-get hits 2000 lines.

voc-get currently uses the Public Domain serverless SQL library SQLite, but it 
is designed to be able to replace this sometime.

Regarding the usual stuff:
- Programming Language: C (embedding SQL for database access)
- License:              GPL for everything
- Building environment: ideally on any system with an ANSI-compliant C compiler 
and a standard library
- User interface:       currently text-based, but designed to be able to 
replace this with GTK or CGI sometime
- Intended audience:    probably mainly students
- Existing documentation:
                        lots of source and header comments, README & friends, 
manpage, Texinfo usage manual, general project information in HTML
