Might be that the person who checked yours was a jerk. I have a couple crappy pointless porjects registered on SF, which shouldn't have gotten past.

Well, honestly, there is a downside to open source. If they did make it easy for Savannah to rip off their work, they'd just be shooting themselves in the foot. Honestly, the Savannah people should write their own damn system; even if they did base it off of the newest SF sources, they'd still be stuck with some of the SF design limitations that they could just avoid if they did their own work. > > On Savannah there are some of Ruby's projects (3 of them I > think). > > Michal > > -- > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Michal Rokos Czech Technical University, Prague > E-mail: m.rokos@sh.cvut.cz Jabber: majkl@jabber.cz, ICQ: 36118339 > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >
