Now, he plans on distributing a source tarball with the lua files with a patch. I believe Gnuzilla does something similar. I would like to double check if it is required that he update those files included in the source tarball for download and easy compiling as well. > > Additionally, he claims to need the lua config file customized for his > specific environment.

Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] * See wiki * is not clear
Hi Nicodemo, I agree, it's currently frustrating both for the admins (pointing out same issues again and again) and the users (waiting very long and don't know why). I am going to compile a page where all our customary requirements are listed in one single list. Then we can remove the other checkboxes on the register page and accentuate that single link. My suggestion is to get the following message somehow across to the applicant on the register page (not literally): "Your project will not be approved until all requirements applicable on this list are met. So you had better spent the 5 minutes to check it or be prepared to wait some weeks."
