Hi,

Yes, your project looks like it belongs to one of those categories:

"Free Documentation Projects
  Documentation for Free Software programs, released under a Free
  Documentation License.

Free Educational Textbook Projects
  Projects aimed to create educational textbooks, released under
  a Free Documentation License."

(http://savannah.gnu.org/register/)

Currently our projects webpages can be accessed via
www.nongnu.org/projectname/
and
projectname.nongnu.org

Maybe we can have our server accept requests for an external domain
name but that needs to be discussed :)
