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
> commercial software currently available for education. We are using the XP
> 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
> of various schools as to their requirements, which is then the direction in
> 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.
> Right now the project implements a wiki text formatting, into something that
> very simply creates a page and stores it in a database. However, we are
> scrapping the first iteration\'s code, so we \"officially\" have no code at
> 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:
