[edit]

This form contains 9 tabs. Please include the license (the (2nd) tab) and the basic information on this tab. You may optionally add additional information via the other tabs. Once you've made your edits, you can save via the Save page button, which appears on the last (9th) tab.

Name*: Official title of the software. Choosing the name for which the program is most commonly known is preferred. This can be different and/or longer than the page name if necessary.
Short description*: Short description (~12 words) visible under the title of the software and in other parts of the FSD. Should begin with a capital but not end with a period.
Full description*: Please write a short summary of what the package does or is used for. Wiki markup can be used. It shouldn't include licensing information or supported operating systems – categories will do that instead. We recommend writing your own original description. Also, remember that some there are a number of expressions that we recommend avoiding.
Homepage URL*: Direct URL of the page representing the free software submitted (HTTPS is better). Redirects with ads, paywalls and direct downloads are strictly forbidden. Visible in its entirety under the title of the software.
Ver. download: Direct download URL of this specific version of the free software package or alternatively an URL which immediately leads to the listing of different formats of the package (with or without visible checksums). The destination must not show deceptive ads and the software download must be its main content.
