Cool. I added you to the project and attached the submissions to you.

Indeed the submission is very short, lacks proper description and
source code.

Submitted project do not have to compile - they just have to be free
:) If there are not other problems with this packge, we can approve it.


Now, we would like you to send us a draft of what you'll send to the
user. Currently your analysis is good, but we don't know how you will
present it to the user. So send us another mail with the same
submissions, but as if you were sending it directly to the user. After
we agree on an answer, you'll be able to answer 'officially' on the
Savannah task tracker.

We will proceed this way for the first submissions. Once you and us
feel confident about your abilities, you'll be able to post directly
on your own.

Cheers,
