Hi Peter,

as I have promised earlier today I've just reviewed your tarball.
Everything looks fine so far, however, we would like you to include licensing information for binary files in your tarball (ie. images) and I would personally recommend renaming the GPL.txt file to COPYING.

However, as everything else looks fine I'll go ahead and approve your submission. You will receive an automated email containing instructions on how to use your Savannah account in the next few minutes.

Please keep in mind to at least add licensing information for the binary files in your package before uploading them to Savannah though.


Regards,

Stephan

Hi Peter,

As per request (of you and Karl) I'm renaming the project to 'allschool' and changing the project type to non-GNU software & documentation for now.
I hope I'll be able to finally review the sourcecode tonight.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Peter,

As for the project name: I would need a valid system name and Pedro_School is not valid. Would you agree on using pedroschool as system name for your project for now?

And now about the tarball. If you want to, you could send an email with the tarball attached to me directly. You should see my email address in the 'To:' header of this mail. Alternatively you can look it up on https://savannah.gnu.org/users/sp.
Another option would be uploading the tarball to some webspace you do have access to.

Regards,

Stephan Peijnik

Stephan,

There was an error.
The file size is larger than allowed.
How can I get around this without breaking up the tar file?

Stephan,

My hope is to make this a GNU project.
For the time being, please name the program Pedro_School.

Attached is the tar file.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
Peter Rios

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. I've noticed a few problems in your submission and these problems are described below.


First of all, your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its current name.

While there are non-GNU programs with names that include 'gnu', such as gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.
 We want to maintain the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its name. You can do this by asking us.


Second thing I noticed is that your submission is missing a link to a project tarball. Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email or attach it to this tracker.

We wish to review your source code, even if it is not functional, to catch potential legal issues early.

For example, to release your program properly under the GNU GPL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every  copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long.  This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.  Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories is a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.


And the last thing I'd like to mention for now is that "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

We would really like you to refer to this operating system as GNU/Linux.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.


If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.

Regards.

REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATION


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

  <https://savannah.gnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8791>


REGISTRATION DETAILS


Full Name:
----------
  GNUSchool

System Group Name:
-----------------
  gnuschool

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software &amp; documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  GNUSchool is an educational web application using LAMP
Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP

It has 4 directories: db_admin principals students teachers

db_admin: automates creation of MySQL databases,by importing data in dbase files or text files


principals: allows for student absent search, cut class search, and
student info editing


students: allows students to take tests, access is by user name and
password


teachers: lets teachers move buttons with names so they can choose any
seating arrangement, take attendance, tabular display of grades with buttons for easy makeups, save and display tests taken, student info editing is separate from main data, creation of new tests, editing tests, create and display student passwords, review tests, lock_unlock database, test monitoring to see who has
completed test who hasn't, test find to search for test by using an ISBN and/or page number and/or book name and/or etc., set test for specific periods so students automatically get that test when they login


The number of databases created depends on the data file imported, one database is created for each teacher and it's web accessible only by that teacher, there is one main database web accessible only to principals, and there is one user database accessible by everyone.


GNUSchool was written to assist schools everywhere.
I hope it evolves into software that allows schools to shift from a static educational system to a more dynamic one.
I believe it would serve humanity greatly if educational systems did not restrict children by age, or grade level, or courses offered, or pass grades or fail grades.

A testing database that places students in categories according to combinations of test scores from various subject matter, would allow children to excel in their strengths, and to go at their own pace.




Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Apache, MySQL, and PHP
