Subject: Re: Serveez

    This will be our UDP example server in version 0.0.20. The last pending
    task on our side is a complete review of the project documentation. Work
    is in progress...

I hereby dub Serveez a GNU program, starting with version 0.0.20.

    Could you please tell us, what we should consider if we are going to make
    it a GNU package ? Are you actually intending to add Serveez to the GNU
    system and to host it at gnu.org ?

We can host it there if you like.  The web pages, at least, should be
on www.gnu.org.  Where you put the repository and the ftp site is up
to you.


Please don't forget to mention prominently in the README file and
other suitable documentation places that it is a GNU program.

The new-gnu people will mail you a file, maintain.text, which
describes a lot of procedures for GNU maintainers.  The file also
describes who you can ask for various kinds of support or advice.  If
you encounter a situation where it isn't clear what to do, you can
also ask me...@gn..., which is a list of a few other GNU
maintainers who have offered to answer questions for new maintainers.

They will also add you to the gnu-prog mailing list, a moderated list
for announcements to GNU maintainers.  They will also add you to the
gnu-prog-disc list, which can be used for discussion among GNU
maintainers, but whether to stay on the list is up to you.

Would you like to make ftp.gnu.org the distribution site?
If so, please tell ftp...@gn... when you have
a version to release.  If you need, we can make an acct for
you on ftp.gnu.org so you can install new versions.

We invite you to put the CVS repository on subversions.gnu.org,
but it is ok to use another site if you prefer.

Could you please write some web pages about the program, to put on
www.gnu.org?  The main web site for a GNU package should be on
www.gnu.org, not just a link to elsewhere.  Please follow the style
guidelines in http://www.gnu.org/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html, and
send the pages to web...@gn... when you are done.

Please also write an entry or a change for the page
http://www.gnu.org/people/people.html, and mail that to
web...@gn... also.  Note that we don't want to talk about
proprietary software, so if you have worked on any, please don't
mention it here.  Your entry can include a link to your home page
provided it fits our usual criteria for what we link to.

Please fill out an entry about your program for our Free Software
Directory.  Please contact jc...@gn... for more info about this.

Please talk with ne...@gn... about creating the mailing lists that
you need.  There should be at least one, bug...@gn..., for
reporting bugs.  Please tell them whether you would like this list to
be open to the public or just an alias going to whoever you choose.
Also please say whether you would like to have a public archive of the
list.

If there are a few alternative names that might be natural for users
to use, let's make all the aliases that might be useful.  If you want
these lists to be aliases for lists on your site, that is ok; ask
new-gnu to set them up that way.

Some GNU programs have another mailing list, hel...@gn...,
for people to ask other users for help.  And some programs have a list
inf...@gn... for sending announcements to the users.  (These
are often moderated.)  Please think about whether such lists are
appropriate for this program; please ask for them if you want them.

Please mail an announcement to inf...@gn... about the existence of
the program, either when the program is released, or now if the
program is already released.  Include a brief description of the
program so people can tell whether they are interested in using it.
Mention the web pages on www.gnu.org and say where to get the program
by ftp.

new-gnu people, could you please enter Stefan Jahn in gnuorg/maintainers,
add him to the gnu-prog lists, and send him a copy of maintain.text?
