Hi Kamba Lupeke,

I reviewed the rc3 version that I found in the URL that you gave us,
I think that is not the fixed version, because have the same problems
that I send you before. 

Please remove GIF image files from your project and replace them with an
other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression
algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to have
free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents also apply to the
compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.

The version of the GNU GPL under sys/doc does not contain the last
section, titled "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs".

Please use a complete verbatim copy of the license, which
may be found at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt,
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt or
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt.

The license must be copied verbatim and in its entirety.

As I see in your tarball you have included three or four dependencies,
this doesn't help to a user to maintain the project and the dependencies
separated and increase the size of your package, consider to change
this modifying the source code to use these dependencies out of your
tarball.

You have missing the Copyright Notices in all .php files and the
Copyright and License Notices missing in some other .css files. Did
you modified the files from the b2evolution project?, If this is the
case you can disclaim the copyright or you can write a copyright
notice in your own name (assuming you are the copyright holder). The
GPL requires all copies to carry an appropriate copyright notice.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide
us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we
will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

Regards,
