Hello.

Thanks for understanding, I'll close this registration then.
Feel free to re-register when you have got any source code to show us.

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

I thought early registration would make fewer headaches, but I'll wait until I have some source to show.

Truely. But how can we help you in the "design phase" of your project?
Do you really need the Savannah project account yet, or is it possible to re-submit when you have got any source code to show us?

Regards,

I'd like to use Savannah as a resource to host releases and a CVS repository, allowing other developers to commit to CVS, but also so people can anonymously check out the most current source.

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


We would like to review your source, but if you haven't got one yet, how would you like to use Savannah?

Regards,

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard 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/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=8146>


######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  Super Free Hacker

System Group Name:
-----------------
  smw-editor

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software &amp; documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  To make an editor for Nintendo's Super Mario World game that allows users to make custom levels and graphics for the game. No copyrighted code of Nintendo may be distributed, so the user will have an option to create an IPS patch that allows them to distribute their hack in a manner that does not violate any copyright laws. While there is one software that already achieved this goal, the most major problem with it is that it's not free software, and it does not run on a free operating system either (requires Microsoft Windows). To add to the problem, the author has specifically stated that he will not free the code nor will he release information on the low-level hacking of the game. The hacking community is fustrated because this means that it cannot support other operating systems, and long-standing bugs in the program will not be repaired. The need for a free software editor is rather obvious, to let the hacking community be free to edit a game they know and love. (There is no code done at all)

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  This program is expected to be built as a library, able to compile on any ANSI C-compatible compiler (eg, GCC), and run on free operating systems (GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, etc).
