However, we currently only have the capacity tohost a limited number of projects.can be hosted here, we do have to be selective in what we offer.With luck, this will change soon, as we are contemplating increasing the capacityof both the sourceware.org system and the internet connection that it uses tocommunicate with the outside world.**I need an account on sourceware for git/svn/cvs write access to project *XYZ*?**Ok, you need write access for a project hosted on Sourceware you say? Well, first you'll need to have your request approved by the project maintainer(s). Once they give their ok, you can use our handy dandy little form and we'll process your request. This will provide you with an account on sourceware.org. If, in the future, you want tocontribute to the repository of another project (remember that sourceware.org, cygwin.com and gcc.gnu.org share projects), have a responsible party send email to the admin-requests mailing list atthis site requesting that you be added to the project. *Do not fill this form out again.***Do you have a privacy statement for this site?**We're not recording anything about you, short of the normal web logswhich show what pages are being downloaded by what host. We'd neveruse any of the mailing list subscription information for anythingother than the normal distribution of e-mail to that list.Oh, from time to time we do generate some aggregate reports but thosedon't identify you individually, so stop worrying.The same call, in code.
