I don't believe it, but the savannah %@#%@$@$ turned the project down and
refuse to support it on their site...  Remove your accounts again there
I'd say.  This is just something that involves all major IRC networks with
500 volunteers and all together a million or so users in an attempt to 
standardize the client-server IRC protocol... blah.

Maybe sourceforge has more common sense.

Ruben, can you try to get a project accepted there?  Perhaps it is me and
how I formulated it (see below) :/ (http://www.sourceforge.net/)

Run @ IRC

Hi,
I'm sorry but we only host projects to develop software or
documentation for free-software. Our interface may have some useful features
for coordination projects such as yours, but hosting such projects opens some
issues that involve extra work for which we currently lack the necessary
resources.

Regards,
Jaime
