Hi,

We ask people to submit their current code in order to help
them make sure it's Free Software. Applying Free Software
licenses is sometime tricky. 

You say that you only want to use Savannah for anonymous
ftp. Note that Savannah does not offer anonymous ftp, only
http and rsync access.

Hello.

I have tried to submit my project twice now.

Both times I have been met with "Please direct me to 
where your distribution is located." messages.

The first time I thought they meant they wanted to see 
my project in action.

In any case, I reapplied, and included a site that was 
using my project.

The second time I was asked to send an attachment 
which contained the project.

I complied, under protest.

Here is my problem: This is not the only project I 
have been working on. What about projects that I wish 
to start. One's that do not have any files.

I did not request to be part of the FSF project.

I do not understand this need for reviewing of the 
files included in a project.

What if there are no files?

Basically, I keep getting requests to resubmit a 
project. Repeatedly.

If this is what I have to keep doing, resubmitting and 
reapplying and re-sending atthachments and having 
someone verify my project, prior to allowing my 
project to be hosted, with no reasons given, I am 
eventually going to have to find an alternative 
location to host my project.

The ONLY reason I wanted to host on savannah is that I 
wanted to post my project as a submission on 
hotscripts.com with an ftp location more reliable than 
my internet gateway.

Please help me figure this out and get rid of the 
unnecessary red-tape. This is frustrating me beyond 
anything you could imagine.

Thanks.

Shamim Islam
