[Pyobjc-dev] Using web software databases to reach the masses

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Hi, I'd like the PyObjC admins to consider the idea and open a page
on some of the increasingly popular web databases describing soft-
ware for people searching it. One small benefit is that usually they
provide some download counters as well.

As a start I'd suggest these two for PyObjC:

   http://www.versiontracker.com
   http://www.macupdate.com

I'm using them a lot myself and I believe many thousends of users
do so as well on a daily basis. Have a try with this one if you
like: ;-)

Regards,

Dinu

In fact, Python and MacPython were already there:

   http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=python
    
http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/ 
new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search=python

But VersionTracker.com still says PyObjC 0.8 is the newest (311
downloads, BTW), while MacUpdate.com doesn't know about it...

Is it known who is actually maintaining this information? Bill, you
are listed with CodeFab for PyObjC on VersionTracker... I suggest
to write the list of such sites down somewhere in CVS in some "nor-
malised" fashion.

I agree that adding us to more of these sites is usefull. I'll try to add us
to macupdate.com, freshmeat.net and the python package index at python.org.
