A new project has been registered at Savannah.
This project account will remain inactive until a site admin approves
or discards 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):

* Group Administration



= Registration Details =

* Name: *Reminders*
* System Name:  *latex-reminders*
* Type: non-GNU software and documentation
* License: GNU General Public License v3 or later



== Description: ==
The reminders package for the LaTeX typesetting system will provide, when it
is finished, a way to include non-floating margin notes that appear in the
exact (absolute) position in which the author called them, moving up and down
automatically if they overlap with other margin notes or run off the page.
This behaviour is of yet not available with the existing marginnotes and
marginnotesplus packages.
The reminders package also provides a way to automagically include a reminder
with reference to the definition when predefined mathematical terms or symbols
are used on a page later than their definition.


== Other Software Required: ==
LaTeX: LPPL, latex-project.org
pgfopts: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfopts
ifthen: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifthen
xparse: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/xparse
zref: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/zref
textpos: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/textpos
everypage: LPPL, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/everypage


== Other Comments: ==
This package is in very early development and not yet in a useable state.

Follow-up Comment #2, task #16209 (project administration):

I figured. Just for my personal curiosity, does that mean that developing
LaTeX packages (even if GPL-licensed) is a priori impossible on Savannah?

For this project, I guess I shall switch to my secondary choice of Gitlab,
since Github has (in my opinion) become unacceptable for hosting free
software. Is there another hosting place I am unaware of?

Best regards
Adrian (BettaGeorge)

Follow-up Comment #3, task #16209 (project administration):

Yes. You could additionally permit linking your own GPL-licensed packages with
GPL-incompatible software
 (it's a
separate question whether the license of that software allows linking with
GPL-licensed works), but then your users wouldn't be able to combine
GPL-licensed code of third parties with your package, because your permission
wouldn't cover that code.
