| <P><a name="LicenseField"></A><B>License</B><BR> |
| Choose the license you wish to apply to the project. Licenses can range from |
| the open source GPL to proprietary. Once your project is approved, you cannot |
| switch from an open-source model to a proprietary one. However, proprietary |
| projects can choose to go open source. To edit this feature of your project, |
| you need to click on "Edit Project" link, once you have finished |
| the process of creating the project. If you wish more information on your |
| licensing options, please see the "<a href="TypicalLicenses.html">Licenses</a>" |
| section.</p> |
| <P><a name="ProjectCategoryField"></A><B>Project Category</B><BR> |
| Select the category appropriate for your project. Because projects are listed |
| by category in both the Start Page and Project Home pages, the choice of category |
| is critical for giving developers a sense of the kind of work available. A |
| developer who specializes in games, for example, will not necessarily want |
| to view projects in the productivity category. As you can see, there are many |
| possible options, and if you end up preferring another category, you can change |
| your project category at any time. To edit this features of your project, |
| click on "Edit Project" once you have finished creating the project.</p> |
| <P><a name="ProjectProfileField"></A><B>Project Profile</B><BR> |
| The Project Profile buttons are configured to automatically create mailing |
| lists for your particular project. Perhaps you have a project idea that will |
| require much discussion and input from other developers well before getting |
| to the point of actual source code; this would be a "Discussion project." |
| If your project, on the other hand, involves reworking existing source code, |
| choose "Standard development project." Selecting a content project generates |
| one general mailing list; you would not have access to the issue-tracking |
| system because it would not be necessary. Selecting the standard project profile |
| generates five mailing lists, and gives you access to all of the other resources |
| of the site, including issue tracking. It is important to stress that no matter |
| what profile you choose, you can change it later.</p> |
