2.3. Registering a new project

To register a new project, connect to FusionForge, login and go to My Page section. You have a Register Project link in the menu at the top of the page.

You need to insert the following information to register a project:

Project Full Name

The Name of the Project: eg. FusionForge Master project

Project Purpose and Summarization

A brief summary of the Project

License

You must select a License for your software.

Project Public Description

Insert a description of the Project. This description will appear in the Project Summary page

Project Unix Name

Insert here the Unix name of your project. This name must respect the following rules:

  1. it cannot match the Unix name of any other project

  2. its length must be between 3 and 15 characters

  3. only lowercase letters, numbers and dashes are accepted

The Unix name will be used for your website, the CVS Repository and the shell access for FusionForge.

Note

The Unix name will never change. Once a project is set up with its Unix name, the name cannot be changed.

Click on the I agree button to register the project. Your project is now registered on FusionForge; but you cannot yet access it. It has to be approved from the site administrators.

When the project is approved, you'll receive an email from FusionForge confirming that the project is active.
