Hi,

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

Your project is not part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its current 
type.
We want to maintain the distinction between 'GNU' and 'non-GNU' projects. If 
your
project is approved for inclusion into Savannah, we will set its type to 
'non-GNU'.

If your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its type.  You 
can
do this by asking us.

As you have no code, we would like to see detailed information on the design
of your project.  For example, from the description you gave, I know that graphs
are rendered displaying the commitments between participants, but I have no idea
about the relationships involved in it's creation.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please reply with them.
Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.
