beuc> I don't understand why you make a distinction between command
line applications and web-based applications.
I was thinking that the license of a project written in PHP had to be
compatible with PHPL.

Ah. The crucial thing I was forgetting was:
This is not a problem for the PHP language itself, because the GNU GPL
makes an exception for a project's underlying programming language
Ok, in that case, we can have GPL'd projects written in PHP, as long as
they don't actually use PHPL'd libraries such as Pear. Good.
Thanks,
Karl

I think it's better to change the status to "need admin" than to change
the category. I think the above category is for projects which need to
be reviewed after approval? And those should be left open, I guess.
Not sure, though ...
Thanks,
Karl

Karl is right. I made that mistake too. Place the "Need Admin" in the
status option. Sorry for the double email Karl.

Hi,
I have still some questions regarding project approvals.
- What is the purpose of "ready for test" in the status dropdown?
It's a generic status that we can remove - I just did so.
- What is difference between "Approved projects to be reviewed" and
"Project approval" in the category dropdown?
"Approved projects to be reviewed" is for projects that were approved
but still need to be reviewed again later. Most of the case this
means they were accepted without source code. Do you have a more
intuitive wording to suggest? :)
- How to deal with projects submissions that do not have any
source code to show yet? Is it okay to give such projects "a try"
once the maintainer promised to comply with the requirements?
Maybe with a agreed upon deadline for retrospectively approval.
We initially did that (with the "Approved projects to be reviewed"
category). However in practice we didn't have the time to review
those projects later on, and the project submitters didn't ask us for
the review. A lot of projects also just didn't progress and stayed
empty.
So we tend to avoid such projects. If you want to take responsibility,
you can accept the project and review it later on. This isn't a very
clean situation.
