Hi Frederic,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Frederic,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Frederic,
 
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah. While doing so I have noticed a few problems which are described below.


First of all, please note that this is not the GNU Evaluation. This is the Savannah evaluation, to check whether your project complies with the Savannah hosting rules (a subset of the GNU Evaluation policies), and get a place to host your project. If you are approved at Savannah and want to be part of GNU, then we usually approve your project as non-GNU and forward your submission to the GNU Eval team.

If you do not want to host your project here, but want to have your project evaluated by the GNU Eval team, then you only need to write to gnueval-input@gnu.org.

Can you clarify this point?


Secondly, as you already noticed we would need to review your source code. So 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.


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,

Stephan

A new project has been registered at Savannah
This project account will remain inactive until a site admin approves or discards the registration.


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=8916>


Registration Details


  • Name: Gnu Management Console
  • System Name:  gmc
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description: Do you know Webmin ? the "de facto" standard in web system administration in the free world.

Do you know "mmc" ? it's a framework, comming from Microsoft, that permit to create and manage "plugins" (mainly activeX). These will permit to administer software components around the company. providing Cut and past, folders, nice GUI, ...

Webmin is not really nice looking and fonctionnal, and mmc is running only in win32 (and obviously is not free (as in speech))

My objective is to make an FOSS equivalent of MMC, which will be called "gmc" (Gnu Management Console) with the following characteristics:

- this won't look like webmin.
- it will use AJAX technologies
- plugin architecture
   - server side: python classes which provides the backend
   - client side: modern browser which run javascript code (on top of qooxdoo)
   - json for the transport
   - ssl for the authentication and encryption.
- the whole objective is to put in place all the infrastructure needed for custom plugins (think about a good bacula frontend, or a good samba administration console, ...)

With the qooxdoo framework, making nice and fonctionnal GUI is easier than ever.

Making a good documentation will be the point here too. without that i'm sure no one will use the framework, even if it's good.


Other Software Required: python
apache httpd
qooxdoo


Other Comments: i've asked where to send an email with source code in savannah-hackers@gnu.org. waiting for the reply
