Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

I could not visit the site.

Please provide me a direct url to download the sources.  That's more
convinient for me.

I have removed that incomplete registration too.

Please register your project once more with the changes
mentioned above.  

We cannot track projects that have been answered but not approved, so
we must ask you to register the project whenever you change the
registration. Make sure to apply all changes so you need to reregister
only once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgement of your earlier
registration will direct you to the proper location.

Regards,

Rudy
