Hi,

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

Please reply and include an (temporary) URL pointing to the source
code.  The description you gave when registering will not be read by
the general public. If you are still concerned with privacy, however,
you can forward the code to me by email.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to
catch potential legal issues early.  

For example, to release your program properly under the GPL you must
include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the 
beginning of every file of source code.  This is explained in
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help
catch potential omissions such as these.


Also, if you would like another system name, tell us now, as it is
easier for us to change it before the project is created.


Regards,

Sylvain
