Hi,

Thanks for the email.  I understand your approval issues.  Honestly, we
don't really ever need to use savannah, but as we are a group of people
and it is currently impossible to use CVS on campus for technical
reasons, it would really help us to use it.  What would work best I
think is if we could use savannah and then you read the code at the 0.1
stage.  If that is not an option, thank you for your time.

unfortunately that was not posted to the tracker, but as a direct reply, and therefore nobody else in the team could deal with it when I was unavailable :/

So, I suggest that, given the delay between your reply and mine, you resubmit your project. We can host your CVS repository if you plan to comply with our policies and actually need it, whether you have source code ready or not yet.

Hi,

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

Your projects meets the Savannah requirements, except that we cannot review your source code yet.

We prefer to approve project with source code, so we can check it for legal issues (even non-functional code is OK). We will among other check if the source files contain appropriate copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file. Our review would help catch potential legal issues early.

If you need Savannah right now, please explain us why; otherwise, please resubmit the project when you have source code.

If we approve your project without source code, we will review the code in the near future (or better, at your request). If then the source code does not meet our requirements (for example, non-free dependencies), we will then discuss the issue and possibly remove the project from Savannah.


Do you need the Savannah services now, and if yes do you agree with the above conditions?

Regards.

Description:
------------
  This project is supposed to be a pretty looking replacement for xosd, which can be found at http://www.ignavus.net/software.html.  We are not going to be using the code from xosd for technical reasons (wrong language.) 

The overview of what exactly we are doing is as follows:

Stage 0.1: We provide basic functionality that will be exactly the same as that of xOSD except using QT libraries.  Just doing this will help as it will allow for AnitAliasing.
The current functionality, as far as I know, in xOSD is placement of text on the screen, any choice of font or font size allowed by XWindow .  The ability to have the text any colour you want, and the ability to have a shadow. 

Stage 0.2: Build upon the previous functions, and add border support and transparency of border.

Stage 0.3: Add image support.  I was also thinking that besides normal image support, we should include a monochrome feature so that we could have, say, a mute symbol, when someone presses mute, that will be the same color as the font.  SVG support would be awesome too, but I am not so sure about how well QT supports that.

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The project will be using Qt 4.1, (the GPL'd edition of course.) (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/index.html)

I also think that we will end up looking at the amaroK (http://amarok.kde.org/) source for reference as it does what we want to do, but it is not as generalized.
