I think mine is- though I'd like to have it hashed at by the beta testing team. As for the 6 months support- I may be gone over the summer. If you think that's an issue, okay, that fine. I don't think it will be hurt to sitting in the beta testing forums for the summer.

I'm sure we can all take a look at it, you certainly deserve it working hard to fix bugs and all.
I'm pretty sure most of my
I'm pretty sure most of my apps are ready to go.
Ant Renamer is good except for the icon, i'm trying to make a high res logo for the splash too.
Synkron should be ready to go, not sure if everything works in UPXed vs. non-UPXed, I didn't get many results back on that.
Daphne seems ready as well, just need to fix up the icon.
NSIS should be ready too, but should probably get tested a bit more. I posted a high res version of the old style NSIS logo and I'm currently working on the Modern Style logo.
Edit: I am willing to support all of these on-going.
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
Alright.
I believe that both MediaCoder Portable is ready, as it has had no negative comments, and it's PAFed. Perfect time for the Beta Testing Team to try it out.

There are still some executive decisions to be made:

My SMPlayer is probably ready.
Absolutely no bugs that weren't fixed (at least that the beta testers told me, there could be that went undetected 100% by everyone, who knows?).

Graphcalc looks ready... (Though patrick never posted bugs)

I abandoned SpeQ (Gcalc is so much better)

MediaCoder and Juice
As per Patrick's recommendations, I think we should wait until the switch for an official release of Stellarium.
I think that MediaCoder Portable is ready, as I've had no negative comments and everything seems to be in order.
Juice Portable I just updated a few days ago and it seems to be in order as well. No negative comments whatsoever so far.
Just waiting for your response.

good to go?
I think Xmoto is good to go. I haven't had any bug reports and it's up for almost a week now.
I'd like the Beta Testing Team to take a final look at it though.

Yep
I downloaded an old version on stable internet the other day. I'll try to get my feedback to ya tonight.

Thanks for that! I updated the package to Development Test 2. Everything should be ok now. (Unless I missed something)

HM NIS Edit (Site: http://portableapps.com/node/13990) is looking pretty good, as well as OpenYahtzee (Site: http://portableapps.com/node/13989). if you're up for it, menulauncher can be a replacement for StartPortableApps.exe (Site: http://portableapps.com/node/13855)
if not, they can always use some more testing.

Trust me.
MenuLauncher (like UP ME and DeskLinkz) is never going to turn into an official app because it's a menu enhancer. Until the plugin system is implemented, all features of the menu would have to be part of the menu, not a seperate EXE...

Freemind?
The Freemind packages seem to be working well and meeting a need.
It is a Java app. Any word on the direction to take for Java portable apps? I suppose if we're not ready for the "official" platform specs for Java apps, we could just release one with a launcher.
If John has something in mind, perhaps I could do some work on it.
MC
Freemind
I am using the Beta heavily and with near-perfect results. Freemind is an amazing tool for people who spend a little time learning its uses.
Portability has always been its chief drawback. The Portableapps version expands the program's usefulness enormously.
My personal experience is that the Beta is ready for "prime time."
For those of you who have large amounts of random data to organize -- anything from family trees, to tackle box inventory to collections of documents, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with what can be done with this program.

Tipp10 Portable
I would say Tipp10 Portable is good to go.
I don't know how popular it is cause it's german only. I guess Patrick could say more about the number of downloads.
Ayk
Unfortauntely, it's only 15 between the two development test releases. But of course, that is as it's German only.
Oh nooo,
15? And when I subtract the people who have downloaded it by mistake no one is left
Seems that my apps are for small groups of people only.
Indeed
I shall try to find you a fairly popular application to work on. Browse SourceForge and Google Code and you'll likely come about some gem.
Tipp10 is popular,
at least in Germany. It is the best available open source typing tutor, in my opinion. And it is often used at schools too.
There is already an original portable version, but it leaves a folder behind. So I decided to *PAF* it for me and share it.
Nobody else would get the PAF-version? Who cares?
Oh, and I wouldn't make another application portable. All open source apps that I'm using are portable now (Thanks PortableApps.com
).
Ready for release
I think Appetizer is also ready for release. It's been on the beta forum for a few days and, as far as I can tell, all the bugs have been fixed.
Appetizer Portable 1.0

I don't know that the PAF package is ready. The base app seems good to go, but give it a few more days for the PAF package to be reviewed by a few more people.

Sure, let's see how it goes in the beta forum. The second release of the PAF package seems ok though as nobody mentioned any bugs so far.

Please put this through the Beta Testing forum. As Dev Test 1, it hasn't been seen by anyone.
Also, there's no need for the _en-us in the filename - it should be SwordBible_Portable_5.41_Development_Test_1.paf.exe.
Please don't let me discourage you though

Sorry I haven't followed the instructions precisely. Can you relocate this post to the appropriate forum? Also,would you mind taking a look to see that the package meets other portable app packaging guidelines. I'm guessing that with your level of expertise, and your familiarity with BPBible, you would be able to fix it in a few minutes
Thanks greatly.
Instructions:
You need to create a post in the Beta Testing forum. Then people'll recognise it as a Development Test and will actually find it and it'll be tested properly.
As for PortableApps.com Format compliance, I'll check it when I get to it. Just a warning though, I'm inundated with schoolwork atm and am not getting as much done here as I'd like to

I think Eclipse Portable is ready for pre-release.
The app meets all the requirements and is updated to the latest installer and PAF format.
I have no known bugs so far with my latest version.
(Note to John: Since you've developed this app previously, you must have the splash screen ready... right?)

I made a 16x16 icon and I have 16x16 and 32x32 png images because thats what the installer created but what do I need the other ones for. I tried to find that in photoshop but had no luck. Also, how do I change the color to 256?

I didn't feel the need to start a new forum topic on this so i just put it here.

Well, there's still nominations from February 2008 on here... maybe a mod could delete the posts for apps that have been released? (Blender, AssaultCube, etc...)

I think he means either an app that securely erases files, or an app that cleans up temporary or unwanted files on your computer (like CCleaner).
CCleaner is portable without a launcher (at least so the authors claim, I can't personally vouch for it) and we already have "Eraser Portable" and "Eraser Drop Portable" for secure deletion.

No
As has been said by John, we're still not accepting .NET applications. There's just something in the PortableApps.com Format Specification for later, if we ever decide to support them officially.

KidSafe's ready to go - special request though
KidSafe is ready to go.
One month, 117 comments, 17 development test releases, nearly 200 downloads, and plenty of testing by both myself and agdurrette... the bug tracker's empty, and KidSafe's ready.
I do have two minor notes though...
#1: I'm planning to put out one more "update", just to clean up the README & help files and put some more comments in the code. The app functionality will remain the same (although the md5 will definitely change, since the help files are embedded in the EXE and I'll be giving those help files a facelift and some updates).Done.#2: Would it be possible for this to be released on Christmas Day? (I posted this as early as possible so any reviews, approvals, dialog, etc. can take place in time)

I am in no position to know for sure but somehow I doubt that this will be released this year. There were Apps waiting in this thread for a long time until they were released and others were pretty fast. Its really up to John.

I'm not expecting it to go public on Christmas, but I'm hoping... and hey, it never hurts to ask!

John and I talked about KidSafe in IRC today; I'm making some fundamental changes to it, so it's no longer ready for release. I'm planning on posting the new release tonight or tomorrow morning, and hopefully I'll get enough feedback in 2 weeks or so to put KidSafe back on the release queue.

Scribus Portable

Scribus Portable
QT Issue?
Is the fact that you have to use QT still a problem? As discussed in this thread. From what I gather if you run multiple QT apps, you'll have some problems with conflicting settings.
Non-issue
Unless I've missed something with regshot, Scribus Portable doesn't create the Qt registry items. Can someone verify for me?
Regardless of if it does, PA.c has a number of Qt-based applications currently released, so this shouldn't affect viability of a release.
[EDIT] see empahsized text.
Great!
I just wanted to verify because I've been an advocate of adding Scribus to the PortableApps stable for quite a while but there always seem to have been road-blocks in the past. I was just a little confused as to what's changed.
But if you're happy, I'm happy. I just hope everybody else is happy. Thanks for putting this together!
