I'm thinking NoviceDoc. I tried to create an alioth project but kept
getting spit out. I'm hoping that someone who knows about alioth can
help. There's no "help" button or contact info on the alioth main page.
Probably because DDs should know better; I'm a novice at alioth only
having seen it for the first time last week.
