What is PortableApps.com?

Hi,

First of all my compliments for this great site and collection of portable applications!

But, what actually is PortableApps.com?

A platform to promote the portable app concept?
A platform to promote the PortableApps Suite product?

I'm asking this because I recently made a application I publish portableapp compatible (PoiEdit, a shareware app to edit and download gps locations=points of interest). Is PortableApps.com a catalog of available portable apps, and could I get my application listed in it? Or do you suggest other sites for this?

I can't answer all

The app would have to have an OSI compatible license and be truly open source to be able to listed here. John Haller would be the one to make decisions on hosting it.

Yeah I think Open source and

Yeah I think Open source and donation ware verses SHarewre, difference is that people can use it freely without paying and some who love them end up paying something. Sometimes the Donation ware ends up earning more then you would think! At least I hope so.

PortableApps.com

was made to showcase John Haller's applications, however you can get your app added to the directory if it is both:

  1. Open source
  2. Fully portable
