[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  FreeLCD
Project System Name:  flcd
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=3529
Description: FreeLCD is a collection of applications for displaying information 
on an LCD or VFD. It supports graphical and character-oriented displays, and 
most of the common widths and heights.

Data and layout information is provided by clients, in a device-independent 
format. The server tries to render this as good as possible to the connected 
device. Information is scheduled for display according to rate of change 
(dynamic content is shown more often) and importance (alerts show more and 
longer).

Possible uses:
- Server stats (cpu load, users, uptime, up/download, temperature)
- Alerts (new email, buddy online, build finished)
- Information from online sources (news headlines, dynamic TV guide)

Planned features:
- Unicode
- Good l10n support
- Truetype text rendering to graphical displays
- Support for more than one connected device

A very pre-alpha version can be downloaded here:
