Starting a free software project is of course a good idea.

It is very important to get a couple of pages or even the summary up 
so that people know were to find the project and how to contact you.

If you send us a short summary, we are happy to include it and
your project in our freegis pages. I really recommend that you
translate the summary, too.

Google.com is a very good test for it.
Just type in "inka".... It looks like the name is used by a couple
of organisations (even two german ones) and some projects.
For me this is would be name-showstopper. ;->

Good luck for the project and keep us posted.
