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.

 With the large amount of submissions not complying on first try, maybe
 it would be better to make it more evident that the See *Wiki* link
 the registration page could say How to Get Your Project Approved
 Quickly to make it more inviting.
 
 I was having a discussion with the OpenVRML applicant on how come we
 do not allow open in the name.

 That sounds like the clearest outcome.

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. I would think he should not distribute those.

 Is it problematic somehow, if he wants to?

Nevermind, I read it wrong.
