Subject: Publishing Linux Applications
Hi all, this is my first post on linux.com I have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years now, and was only using Windows to test out different programs that I was working on. I just now completed my first port of "EZ Arabic" to Linux. I finished it, but am not sure what I should do next. 15% of my site visitors use Linux, however I think there is probably somewhere else that I should post it up on. When I program for Windows I just put it up on softpedia and download.com and it gets out there. How should I go about releasing this Linux app? I haven't gotten too much feedback about how it is working on various distros, where should I go to ask for beta testers? The program is at http://www.ArabsforChrist.org/learnarabic/ for anyone that has any ideas. Thanks all, Johnny

If you are releasing is as an open source project, then put it up on sourceforge.net - they host a great many important and interesting open source applications, and provide a project with source control, bug reporting, versioning, and all that good stuff, along with source and binary downloads.

Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!

And for normal 'getting out there', sofpedia itself hosts Linux apps too and if you have a .deb package there are appnr.com and getdeb.net
