Please remove the project for now. Due to the lag on the initial reply, we've decided to host elsewhere for the moment. Thanks a lot and hope to work with you in the future.

Thanks,
Debangsu

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.

Hello.

After reviewing this submission again, we see that there exist some problems with the license of Goole Maps.
(http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/help/terms_local.html)

"The photographic imagery made available for display through Google Maps is provided under a nonexclusive, non-transferable license for use only by you"

Furthermore the service is only for "non-commercial" use and Google is not the only copyright holder there.

Then the software itself is only available via a web browser.
...


So all in all we would consider this as totally non-free.
How do you plan to integrate this in your own software and how do you plan to resolve this "non-free" dependence?

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

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


At first, you must determine whether your project can run on a Free Software Java suite
(see http://www.gnu.org/software/java/ for more information).

We recommend you to test your project using GCJ and GNU Classpath, and ensure
that your Java code runs on this Free Software Java suite.

GCJ is the GNU Compiler for Java, part of the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection).
The Classpath project aims to develop a free and portable implementation of the Java API
(the classes in the 'java' package).

More information is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/ .

Please provide us with more information about this point.



At second, we would prefer to review your source code before we can approve your project. How do you plan to use our services in the "planning phase" of the project?
If you don't need the services NOW, would you aggree to re-register when you have got any source code to show to us?

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard 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=8516>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  Niche

System Group Name:
-----------------
  niche

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

License:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:

  Niche Networked Interactive Comprehensive Habitat Evaluator:
Find your place in the world

The NICHE tool will put the power of the internet at your fingertips with a comprehensive data collection service and custom built-in overlays for the Google Earth map software.

NICHE can be configured to:
FIND A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD: search MLS sites in a metropolitan area and graphically represent the median house prices.
FIND A BETTER-PAYING JOB: poll common employment sites (Monster, Dice, etc.) and salaries.com to determine openings and compensation statistics.
FIND THE BEST SCHOOLS: cross-reference public and private school rankings with those in your targetted area.
Have your neighborhood all picked out?
The NICHE tool can tell you how much you can expect to pay for a house, customized to your needs! This feature uses the same resources (MLS) as the professionals and automates the process that Real Estate agents use to determine the value of a house. It's like having a Real Estate agent at your side 24/7! That's why we call it the Residential Housing Expert Appraiser (RHEA), as in the mother of all resources.

We do not have any source code to show right now. This will change in the next few weeks to a month. Thanks.

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Java, MySQL, JSP.
