 That doesn't work for me. When I click on the Apply button on the 
GnuAE NEWS page, it takes me to the NEWS page for the Figure project. I 
made two attempts to add a new NEWS item, so that's what those are.
If I go to https://savannah.gnu.org/news/?group_id=6786, and click 
Apply, it takes me to
https://savannah.gnu.org/news/index.php?group=gnuae&limit=10. Even 
though the parameters to the script say gnuae, the NEWS page I get is 
for the Figure Project, which has no NEWS items.

 I'll just change the name, and just checked in a fix. I thought it had 
to be the project name, but forgot I had to do the same thing for 
DejaGnu when I set it up on savannah years ago. I'll see if it comes 
down after the next time the site gets updated from CVS.

 That's fine too. As I'm picking up more developers, I wanted to have 
the basic infrastructure in place.

 RMS said the name was fine with him. He also accepted it as part of 
the GNU project (I'm a long-time GNU developer, DejaGnu, GCC, GDB, 
etc...) and liked the general idea of the project.
