Hi,

I have been actually waiting for your reply. I had asked you to forward
the code to me via email. But I never recieved the code. My mail filter
may have deleted you email. Also, I could not find a way to download the
source code at the website.

We want to check the source code to make sure that it meets all the
legal requirements (like putting appropriate copyright and license-to-
copy notices, etc.) to be released in terms of the specified licenses.

Please reply me with the source code and if everything is alright, I
will immediately approve your project. If you want the webpage at
Savannah immediately and you don't have much time to deal with source
code right now, please assure me that there will be appropriate notices
as specified in
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html#Copyright-Notices
and
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices.html#License-Notices 

And I will approve your project for inclusion in Savannah.


Thanks,

Alaska Subedi
