2010-10-14 in GNU Savannah task #10665: "Submission of Trans-ALM". Hello. > Can one of you please tell me how to cancel my project submission? Post your deletion request in this item, which tracks the registration process of the project in question. > I don't want it published on savannah any more! Thanks for telling us, we will delete the submission after you confirm it in the tracker. Please bear in mind it's expensive for us to review the sent projects. We aim to encourage and check good licensing practices and hence we review the project and check for possible issues. If everythink is ok and the project meets our requirements and advice it gets approved, else we ask the maintainer to fix these. That's a tedious and time-demanding task. We are volunteers and have limited time to divide between several pending projects [1]. When you submit and later request cancellation of a project means you made one volunteer and the savannah team, as a whole, to waste part of his time and effort on it, instead of using these in a project who is really going to appreciate or at least, consider these suggestions. Our requirements and advices are not arbitrary. These are for the sake of the free software users in overall. For example, we ask you to put valid Copyright notices and the GPL header on every Copyrightable file (Or in the README in case of files which can't contain it inside) so the users can know for sure these files are free software, and they are free to use, modify, study and re-distribute them. A properly licensed file can be swiftly copied between projects, for instance. In contrast if some legal information is missing we (Someone) can't assume it. I ask you to help us with the pending projects if that's possible. There is more information about how you can help Savannah in http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToBecomeASavannahHacker.
