I read the wiki pages, things make much more sense now.
I gather you are looking at the "savane" project page, http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/savane
Indeed, I am more interested in the Savannah (Savane?) frontend/backend code than in the Savannah administration tasks.
Other projects, notably including "savane", are not relevant to hacking live Savannah. I added a note to that effect in the "savane" description. (I thought we had it there before, but I guess not, or it got deleted, or something.) Part of the problem is that the overall situation is so murky. If I knew precisely where everything was and how it was used, I would write it down, but I don't, and the reality is that researching all that is part of what any savannah contributor must do to succeed. Sad but true. There is no especially low-hanging fruit.
If I may ask - is there an interest in working on the front-end code or the back-end architecture? Or is there already an active on-going project? Or is there an interest but no time / developers ? Or no interest? I didn't completely understand from the statement about "FusionForge" what is the situation. I tried testing "savane" locally and failed, but now I realized it's "savane-cleanup" perhaps that should be used? Thanks, - Assaf
