                    <div>
                        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 &quot;EZ Arabic&quot; 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</div>

                        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.<p class="hiddensignature">
