Hi,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards.

A small correction: the GIF patents expired October 1st 2006. We now can use GIFs without the possibility of being treatened with patents lawsuits.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Please, remove GIF image files from your project and replace them with an other format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Because of the patents (Unisys and IBM) covering the LZW compression algorithm which are used when making GIF files, it's impossible to have free software to generate proper GIFs.  These patents also apply to the compress program.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html.

Additionally, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update the copy of the license (usually, the 'COPYING' file) in your package.

Updated versions of the GPL, LGPL and GFDL can also be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt

Cheers

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):

  <https://savannah.nongnu.org/siteadmin/groupedit.php?group_id=8937>


Registration Details


  • Name: bot-trap
  • System Name:  bot-trap
  • Type: non-GNU software &amp; documentation
  • License: Public domain





Description: This package enables web sites to automatically ban bad web robots (aka web spiders) that ignore the robots.txt file. This does not include Googlebot and other well-behaved robots. The software requirements are Apache and PHP.  It is different from other implementations because it allows regular users (collateral damage) to unban their IP by entering something in a web form.

I am the sole author and currently host the project at
http://danielwebb.us/software/bot-trap/

I'm applying because the project is starting to get popular and I would like all the standard stuff like an announcements list and bug tracker.

Other Software Required: Apache, PHP
