Guide to Adding or Updating a NeoOffice/J Software Listing
The NeoOffice/J Community Relations team maintains NeoOffice/J entries (or listings) on sites which offer lists of available, popular, or updated software packages to end-users (for instance, VersionTracker). In addition, we also maintain a few entries on sites that list free and open-source software projects (targeted more towards developers rather than end-users, e.g. Freshmeat).
We update these listings when new versions of NeoOffice/J are released (and occasionally when there are changes in the project direction, URLs, or similar things). Aside from the NeoOffice/J homepage,NeoOffice.org, and this wiki, these listings are the public face of the NeoOffice project, and, in many cases, are the first point of contact with new or potential users.
See the page for the current catalog of listings.
Registering an Account to Maintain a Listing
- Use the official @neooffice.org alias, not the Community Relations email account
- Account Name, "Company Name", and/or Developer should be NeoOffice.org
- Ensure final details are logged in the Community Relations email account
- Include "developer update URL", if applicable
- For new listings, add the URL to the world-accessible listing to the collection on the page.
Links and URLs
- Links to planamesa.com should point to language-agnostic URLs (no en/ fr/ etc.)
- Download links should point to http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/download.php rather than a specific binary
- This helps Patrick's bandwidth (allows people to use the download mirrors) and helps users find the localized UI packs, dictionary downloads, and the latest patch
- Product homepage can be http://www.neooffice.org or http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/
- Support URL is http://trinity.neooffice.org/modules.php?name=Forums
Body of the Listing
- Up-to-date "descriptive text"
- What's New in This Version (summarize from the Release Notes)
- Correct icon and screenshot displayed
"Gotchas"
- Ensure you're updating the correct branch or version (especially at VersionTracker and Freshmeat)
Other Items to Include or Watch
- Add here (or to other relevant section) as needed
