[Wylug-discuss] Possible contribution to The Community

[Jim Jackson]

Put it on a web site you know is indexed by google, e.g. sourceforge or
simply your own web site, or freshmeat.net


Then "Announce" it to wylug, (that gets a ptr to your page from the wylug
mail archives always a good thing :-) and just wait, it will start turning
up in people web searches.
