-New projects submissions are being queued, no approval/rejections are
-being done. No idea when this activity will be re-enabled.
+Currently, project approvals are underway.  We are using the channel
+#savannah on irc.freenode.net to coordinate this effort.  Aside from IRC, 
+we are also using a list to keep track of projects.  The list file, 
+''pending_projects_to_keep.txt'', may be found in the ''lists'' directory
+ of the administration project's ''administration'' module.

address@hidden IRC
+
+Currently, we have a channel, #savannah, on irc.freenode.net for discussion 
+on Savannah.  The channel is used for slight discussion and it also allows for
+easier administration of Savannah.  The channel allows us to not tread on
+anyone elses toes, by providing us with real-time communication.  This makes
+handling project approvals and support requests easier.
+
+IRC is not, by any means, a substitute for the mailing list.  While slight
+decisions may be agreed upon in IRC, the mailing list is where all important,
+policy-related and administrative decisions are made.

address@hidden Web Server Syndication
+
+Content for pages on www.gnu.org and www.nongnu.org is controlled by
+Savannah's respective project webcvs repositories.  Both www.gnu.org 
+and www.nongnu.org are syndicated to reflect the changes to Savannah's 
+webcvs repositories.
+
+Upon project approval, syndication does not begin automatically.
+Since the FSF will not allow Savannah hackers shell access to GNU's 
+main webserver, for understandable security concerns, there is a URL 
+we must use to enable project web syndication, for both GNU and non-GNU 
+projects.
+
+The URL is: @uref{http://www.gnu.org/new-savannah-project/new.py}
+
+It takes two arguments, ''type'' and ''project''.
+
+For ''type'', you choose whether the project is ''gnu'' or ''non-gnu''.
+
+For ''project'', you enter the name of the respective project.
