Request of new project: pacme

[Mohammad-Reza Nabipoor <mnabipoor@gnu.org>]

Hi,

I'm Mohammad-Reza Nabipoor and a GNU poke contributor and I'd like to host
a project of mine called "pacme" (An acme-like interface to GNU poke) in
sourceware.  See below for details on the project.

The code is licensed under GPLv3+, and we plan to eventually apply to make
pacme an official GNU program, so we are following all the GNU standards and
conventions.

I'd need the following project resources if possible:

  - An empty git repository called pacme.git
  - A homepage in sourceware.org/pacme
  - A way to distribute released tarballs like a FTP

We'll be using the GNU poke development list for discussion, and the poke bugzilla
that is already in sourceware.  So we don't need any additional things.



pacme -- An acme-like GNU poke interface
========================================

This project consists of a bunch of small C programs that used together and
collated by a screen manager (at the moment tmux is supported) provide
a very flexible and powerful user interface to GNU poke, the extensible
editor for binary data.

These small C programs communicate with the poke daemon acting as pokelets,
executing Poke code, processing the results, and implementing the several
components of the user interface: REPL, byte-dump output, input and evaulation
of multi-line Poke programs, tree viewer and editor of Poke data structures, etc.
