Hi,

I forgot to add that your project will approved as non-GNU at the
moment. In order to evaluate it as a GNU package, we need more
information - a clear description of the design and plans for the whole
package, and preferably part of the code.

When those things are ready, write to address@hidden to ask for
an evaluation of your project for inclusion in GNU.

Thanks,

Alaska Subedi
