Favorite Open Source Applications

Posted February 19, 2010 - 2:42am

Have you ever gone looking for open source software titles? Did you ever wonder if there was a single place where all of those titles could be aggregated with descriptions, license information, links, use categories etc...? Well I have built a page where I would love to have as many open source apps listed as possible. I am asking your help in building a repository of apps that includes things like titles, license types, instructional uses, ratings and other informational items.

Hello to everyone that has visited my site in the past. I have nearly completed a full overhaul of my site. This short post is to invite you to help me to make this site more friendly to all of my visitors. I am asking for your feedback in regards to things like navigation, ease of use, layout, design etc... I want to make this site easy for people to get around and find stuff. With this in mind I have created a forum where you can give input to ways in which I can make the site better.
