Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Pbem Generic Game Engine - savannah.nongnu.org

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your
project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the
time to deal with the registration issues.

Regards,
