        Hi,

        Could you please submit your project again and explain how
it can run on a Free Software java suite. You will find more
information at http://www.gnu.org/software/java/.

        Thanks for your patience,

 > System name: schoolware
 > Type: non-GNU

 > Description:
 > schoolware is a project to develop a free and open-source alternative to the

 > methodology, and thus are not starting out with a big up-front design as to 
 > what we want to do.
 > Instead we are in active communication with several technology staff members

 > which we build our software.
 > We do have some code (see http://sf.net/projects/schoolware), as well as a 
 > wiki where much discussion goes on (see http://schoolware.sf.net), and a 
 > mailing list (see address@hidden).  The reason we are switching from 
 > sourceforge is that they are far too slow.

 > the moment, and we will not be moving any of it over.
 > Therefore our project\'s goal is to match the needs of the education 
 > community by developing is whatever is most important at the time for them.
 > We do not, to our knowledge, use any non-free software of any sort, as the 
 > goal is to be standards-based, and to use Java for the programming language. 
 >  We are not tied to any particular webserver or RDBMS or other technology.

 > Other Software Required:
 > It does not depend on any external software, but it does need a J2EE server
