As I tried to explained, very politely, to Carlo Wood, Savannah is run by
volunteers, and most of the work is done by only 3 people with limited
time. To avoid overload we have chosen to host only software projects or
documentation for a specific software package. We don't even allow our users
to create databases or use PHP scripts because we do not have the resources to
guarantee that we can keep them working correctly. For the record, I attach a
copy of my message to Carlo, which fueled this cross-post.

Cheers,
Jaime

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
