does not technically matter).

+A successful call should result in an empty HTTP-200, e.g.:

+ # curl -D /dev/stderr http://www.gnu.org/new-savannah-project/new.py -s -F

It may take more than one call, a few minutes apart.

+NOTES:
+1. The script `new.py` will return HTTP-404 (page not found) on
+ any errors! That's not only confusing, but also hard to troubleshoot.
+ The 404 errors are sent back to apache, which in turns renders
+ an entire www.gnu.org "page not found" template.
+2. The script `new.py` will return HTTP-404 (page not found)
+ if the project name is invalid, or if the type is invalid
+ (e.g. not "gnu" or "non-gnu").
+3. A copy of the script can be found in
+ `fencepost:/srv/data/www-mirror/new-savannah-project/new.py`.
+4. A copy of the relevant apache configuration can be found in
+ `fencepost:/srv/data/www-config/sites-available/www.gnu.org-common`
+ (search for "new.py").
