Mod Comment First off, there is no problem in principle with publicising Open Source Software projects here. We would have appreciated, though, if you would have contacted us before. Although we generally support OSS projects we reserve the right to decide about doing so on an individual basis. Just contact any member of the moderation/administration team - favourably Neo, as he is the founder and biggest benefactor of this board. Thank you for your future consideration and cooperation on this part.

I have fixed the link to your project site in your posting.

Much luck for your project and enjoy your stay here.
