I removed the project.

Here is the description :)

LibCVS -- Access CVS through a library

LibCVS describes an API for providing access to CVS repositories.
 
This is a documentation project, which will produce a language-independent API description. This API can then be implemented in an appropriate language, and tools can be written which use that library, and the API, to access CVS repositories.
 
The purpose is to ease the process of writing tools to support CVS.  In the long run it would be ideal if the library could provide access to repositories provided by other revision control systems.
 
This documentation project will be followed by language-specific implementation projects.  I wish to separate the projects to make licensing issues easier, and to distribute project management issues.  The common documentation project acts as a communication hub among the implementation projects, allowing them to share improvements to the API and experience in implementing it.
  
LibCVS is already underway.  It is currently hosted at libcvs.cvshome.org.  There is a common API description there (currently being overhauled), as well as Perl and Objective-C libraries in development.  The commencement of a C library is in discussion.
 
Sadly the mailing list archives there are not currently working, which is prompting this move to savannah. | The documentation currently uses dia for creating diagrams.  If there is more appropriate free software available, I will gladly switch.

I had just allocated the name for the LibCVS project, where it says "Don't press the back button after this".  Well, sadly the cat can't read, so he pressed the back button, and now I've lost the project registration.  How do I recover from this?  I don't want to lose the project name ("LibCVS"), or the project description.

Thanks for your help,
Alex
