This web site (called Savannah) is a central point for development, distribution and maintenance of GNU Software.
There is a companion site savannah.nongnu.org where we also host Free Software projects that are not part of the GNU Project, but run on free platforms.
If you would like to use these facilities to host your project, then go to the Register new project menu entry that is displayed after login.
While there are a few separate documents explaining the usage of the site, most of the documentation is included in the pages themselves (the place where you are most likely to need it).
We provide two mailing-lists that you may want to subscribe to:
- savannah-announce: low-volume notifications of important issues and changes at Savannah
- savannah-users: discussion of savannah-announce and any user-oriented topic
The software used to run Savannah is being developed by the Savane project. The Levitating, Meditating, Flute-playing Gnu logo is a GNU GPL'ed image provided by the Nevrax Design Team.

RMS suggested rejecting patches from non-registered users, for both GNU and non-GNU projects, because the FSF legal team recommends against accepting patches from anonymous users. While non-registered users may authenticate their patches by other means (GPG...), this is considered as a first step against anonymous patches.
