[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of OFSET

[Loic Dachary]

       Hi,

       Thanks for your submission. Could you please register DrGeo and DrGenius
on savannah ? You submitted OFSET but Savannah is structured to create a 
new project for each GNU package, not for organisations.

       Cheers,
