Adding a program to public database ?

#1 Post by SafeBrowser »

Tia ,
I would like to add a program to public database .
I have read the Faq "What is the process for getting an application into the database?" .
Do I just ask a Review-er to Review it ?
Or do I need to ask people to Review it and vote ?
If I ask people to vote , do I need to set up a POLL for that ?

Or should I set it up on private database , then ask Reviewer to Review it ?

Thanks for your help...

Add a new entry to the database. This will be private initially.

Post a new topic to the "Portable Freeware Submission" forum with the link to the new entry. Tell us why you like the program.

We will start upvoting the program up clicking on the "This rocks" button. If you get enough votes, the entry will become public.

There's a whole thread that Andrew put together around submitting to the database. Please do ask questions if you're confused, but that might be a little faster way to answers.

I've lately been using ScreenToGif to take a series of screenshots and then animate them like a slideshow. I recommend saving to animated PNG file (much smaller than GIF). Works great.

Also as I'm reading Andrew's post above, it might sound like we recommend posting directly to the database rather than creating a forum entry first. Quoting the FAQ:
"It's recommended that you go this route AFTER submitting the program in questions to the forum, or there's a good chance it won't get the necessary votes to go public. However, if you feel sure it will be welcomed, you can start the process by going to the home page and selecting 'Add Entry'"
I can see you've already submitted a draft post suggestion -- I'm sorry we weren't more clear about that.

Early in the site's history it was a few people that would review and post, but now it's made up of user votes. Here's a few resources:
