I have added the notices and renamed to COPYING.  Please check again.  It's still at:

Hi,

Ok, so we can go on :)

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long. (eg : humanzip.h)

In addition, please, rename the "LICENSE" file into a file named "COPYING"

If some of your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.

Cheers.

Hi,

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.

Hi Matthew,

Firstly I would like to let you know that I am sorry for the huge delay you have been facing. Do you still want your project hosted at GNU Savannah?

Regards,

Stephan

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):



Registration Details


  • Name: humanzip
  • System Name:  humanzip
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

humanzip is a compression program that operates on text files.  Unlike most compression algorithms, its output is human readable.  Indeed, it is explictly meant to be read by humans and might even be easier to read than the original.

humanzip compresses files by looking for common strings of words and replacing them with single symbols. The idea is to reduce the screen and print size of documents.  It does not explictly try to reduce the size of the file as measured in bytes, although this usually happens incidentally.  For instance, a part of a file that looks like this:

        This is a test, please panic.
        This is a test, hide under your desk.
        This is a test, close the curtains.

might be converted to:

        Å, please panic.
        Å, hide under your desk.
        Å, close the curtains.

A key is included at the top of the compressed file.  It is always given with lines like "å/Å - this is a test", where å represents "this is a test" and Å represents "This is a test".

Most files are reduced 5-15%.  humanunzip restores files exactly to their original state.

A functional version can be found at http://webusers.physics.umn.edu/~strait/humanzip/


Other Software Required:

None.
