Hi,

The notices are good, although I usually see the copyright notice before the license notice.

I approved your project. You will receive an automated e-mail containing detailed information about the approval.

Regards.

Hi,

I've put a copyright notice and a license notice in now. You can view the physiology text at http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Physiology.html (note the change). I have also updated the physiology openoffice file (http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Physiology.odt) but I have not changed the other texts until I can check this is the correct way to do it. Please check for me. Thanks very much.

Jimmy

Hello,

I checked http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/Physiology.html

Currently there is only a notice of non-warranty.
You need to add a copyright notice (see http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for the format) and a license notice (since the mBSD license is so short, you can just copy the license itself, from http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html#5

I also installed OOo2 so I can check your documents in that format as well.

Also, the format can be read with java-less Openoffice or any other kind since I do not use java at all. I only type the words, use tables and use subscript/superscript.

I have changed it to html format, using no forms of script. It should be easily modifiable. If there is a problem with the format, I'm happy to use .txt since I only have text at the moment. I hope to use latex in the future, but I don't really know how to use that, which is why I'm submitting this project. You can have a look at the sample at http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Physiology.html . I have only converted the Physiology section since I'm not sure if this is OK. I have also added a copyright notice at the top of the page. Thank you.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


The use of OOo2 may be problematic because of the Java dependency. This may mean that you need the (proprietary) JDK from Sun to make it work properly. Check http://www.fsf.org/news/open-office-java.html for further information.

Can you tell us if your documents can be read with a Java-less OpenOffice, or with a free implementation of Java?


Note that Savannah supports projects of the Free Software movement, not projects of the Open Source movement.

We are careful about ethical issues and insist on producing software that is not dependent on proprietary software.

While Open Source as defined by its founders means something pretty close to Free Software, it's frequently misunderstood.  For more information, please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html.

Hence why we insist on this Java issue.


I'm getting OOo2 to check your work. By looking at them in text mode, though, I didn't copyright and license notices.

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the mBSD, please place copyright notices and a copy of the license after the title page of each work.


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

Regards.

Description:
------------
  I am creating a library of medical textbooks with different textbooks covering a different topic. At the moment, I am concentrating on pre-clinical knowledge and thus is general enough such that everyone is able to contribute. In the future, specialists may be required to write up their own sections as this is out of my scope and the current project's scope. I have used .odt format for the moment (OpenOffice 2) since this is a open format developed by OpenDocument. I may in the near future port to latex but for the moment there has been no limitations. I have put up samples of what I have transcribed to the computer since most of my notes are in handwriting. The address to these files are http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Physiology.odt , http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Genetics.odt and http://cassius.its.unimelb.edu.au/~jtseng/books/Biochemistry.odt . There are other books available but they are not completed enough to be useful in viewing. There are no pictures included at the moment but I hope to find freely available pictures to use soon. The information is mostly from my study notes I made in the past and thus I have not broken any copyright laws or such.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Since the format is in .odt, OpenOffice 2 is required to view the books. However, OpenOffice is a open source program available to all OSs and so should prove to be easily gotten.

  I have applied before. Samples have been put up.
