==== How to add new apps? ==== | ===== How to contribute to the lists? ===== |
**In short:** Just add one (or more) of the above tages (e.g. "email-xfce") to an application on alternativeto.net | **In short:** Add Xfce as a "custom platform" to an application profile on alternativeto.net |
| <note>__In addition to that__ add an xfce-project __tag__ to the application profile IF AND ONLY IF the application is __part of the xfce project itself__.</note> |

- Log in to: http://alternativeto.net/ | - Log in to: http://alternativeto.net/ |

- Click "Save & Done" botton! | - Click "Save & Done" botton! |
| |
<note>In "Edit Information" page, The tags in the "Tags" section should be separated by commas. I've placed a comma after each category name for you. So if you just copy the whole thing and paste it at the begining of the "Tags" section, you'll be fine.</note> | |
| |
<note>As soon as the "Edit Information" page opens the focus automatically goes to the beginning of tha "Tags" section. So if you just press Ctrl+V, the tag would be placed in the right place.</note> | |
| |
<note>You can add an application to multiple groups. e.g. "Mirage" exists both in image-viewer-xfce and image-editor-xfce groups</note> | |
