Follow-up Comment #11, sr #107667 (project administration): In April, I had approached one of the project maintainers (& cced michael) about this issue, but neither the group has been made public, nor the jobs.
Also, i had brought to notice about it on www-discuss, since it being in the category of 'http://www.gnu.org portion'. But, it was concluded there that its not a problem. I agree its okay that its actively maintained on sf; But if it does have a project registered on savannah in its name, it should be accessible. Thank-you for stating that a GNU package should not be private. Best approach would be to incorporate it in the system. To overcome above problem i would suggest - When category is set to "Official GNU software" or "http://www.gnu.org portion" or "http://www.gnu.org translation team", Then disable 'private' feature. Regarding the issue of private jobs: (assuming project & jobs can be marked public/private independent of each other) - If Job is private, Then exclude job from listing - If Job is public && Project page is private, Then some contact must be provided by maintainer where a potential contributor can contact as the project page is inaccessible. And, corresponding alert/inline messages can be shown to maintainer,i.e, while setting project category, while setting project/job as private. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107667> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
