You now have to choose a name for your project. There are two types of names that will be associated with this project.

The "Full Name" is descriptive, not too restrictive (except from a 40 character limit) and you can change it later on. The "System Name" can only be changed by the Savannah administrators and has several restrictions because it is used in many places around the filesystem in Savannah ("system" refers to the fact that it will identify areas of your project in the filesystem, and not to the operating system your project uses).

• It cannot match the system name of any other project
• It must be between 2 and 12 characters in length
• It can only contain text characters, numbers, and dashes (no + signs)
• It must be a valid GNU/Linux username
• It cannot match one of our reserved domains
• To avoid confusion, it cannot include "gnu" in it, unless your project is already part of the GNU project

Your system name is important because it will be used for many things, including:

• Directory names
• CVS repository name
• Group names
• Project searches throughout the site
