| | ===== How to contribute to the lists? ===== |
| <note important>Only some of these applications are part of the xfce project. **[[http://alternativeto.net/tag/xfce-project/|Here]]** is a list of them. In xfce mailing-lists/irc-channels we only answer questions regarding the applications that are part of the project. You should ask questions that are related to other applications in their own mailing-lists/irc-channels. Applications that are part of the project have an "xfce-project" tag.</note> | * Login to alternativeto.net |
| ---- | * Add "Xfce" to the custom platform field of an application profile |
| | * In addition to that, add an "xfce-project" tag to the tag field of the application profile //IF AND ONLY IF// the application is part of the xfce project itself. |
| ==== How to add new apps? ==== | |
| **In short:** Just add one (or more) of the above tages (e.g. "email-xfce") to an application on alternativeto.net | |
| | |
| === In more details: === | |
| | |
| - Log in to: http://alternativeto.net/ | |
| - Lookup your application on that website or if it does not exist, add it! | |
| - Hover over the wrench icon to make the "Actions" menu appear! | |
| - Click on "Edit Information" button to make the edit page appear! | |
| - Copy the appropriate category name (e.g. email-xfce) from this page and paste it to the "Tags" section in that page! | |
| - 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> | |
