[Savannah-hackers] Re: Savannah Projects Approval (bis)

[Maxim Burgerhout]

Sylvian,

a few weeks ago, you sent me a mail in which you told me my project was 
approved.  The e-mail basicly said this:

Your project registration for Savannah has been approved.
Project Full Name:   Dutch translation team for www.gnu.org
Project System Name: wwwgnunl
Project page:        /projects/wwwgnunl


which was cool and all. I couldn't actually find the /projects/wwwgnunl 
page or see the project pop-up anywhere else, so I decided to wait a bit 
and see if something would happen, like some script creating it or 
something, or whatever.

Meanwhile I went on vacation.

Now, I am back and me and some other people eagerly await the moment we 
can start our translation project of www.gnu.org. Yet I still can't 
figure out how this would work. The /projects/wwwgnunl page still 
doesn't show in savannah.gnu.org. Apart from that, it's somewhat unclear 
how we are supposed to use CVS to upload our translations. This will 
probably prove to be easy once we have access, but that is where the 
problem lies... access.

You are probably very busy and all, getting savannah back in full glory, 
but could you perhaps spare a few minutes to look into this? I would 
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Maxim Burgerhout
