PortableApps.com Platform and Suite 1.6 have been released.

Current Application Development
Submitted by Patrick Patience on October 10, 2007 - 7:21pm
To make things easier, I thought I'd make a chart of portable applications in development, who the developer is, what stage it's in, etc. So, I'll add to this list over time, and you can let me know what you're doing to. But since PortableApps.com is really planning to open to outside developers and make things easier for them, I thought this would stop multiple application efforts at once. Maybe John has an idea like this soon, but this will get us started on it.

If you have any category suggestions, let me know, also if you think the status of a project should be changed, let me know. I'll keep adding to this, this is just a quick example. Maybe if we sticky it, it will stop at least a few double app requests (it's easier than searching)

Add in Tick5 and Wormux for me
Alpha/beta status is about right too, but all the kinks discovered so far have been sorted for all three apps. I'm waiting on the new splash screen and wizard.bmp to show up and then I'm recompiling & posting a new version of each.
I just now checked the websites of all three apps and they're all using the GPL licence.
Check spelling of "license" in the chart.
Is the PAF column going to be a Yes/No option indication if it's in "fully PAF compliant" format?
A defintion of what you consider "up-to-date" would be good too. Contains the latest released version of an app maybe (not a beta/developer release)?
Cancer Survivors -- Remember the fight, celebrate the victory!
Help control the rugrat population -- have yourself spayed or neutered!
Sure, I'll add them in
Thanks, I always had trouble spelling it. Yea, it'll be a Yes, No, or Partially. Up-To-Date, as in with the current version number. I know quite a few of the apps from PortableApps.com are currently not up to date as John's been busy, so this way we'll keep track of what needs to be updated. So yea, basicially what you said.
Don't forget me and
SSS Portable and PDE Portable (pretty sure you can figure it out).
I thought ormus dropped development on VBA Portable (probably since VBA has not been updated in a while.)
*In a high singing voice* All the little creatures of the forest!
and stuff...
Yea,
I was gonna add SSS, as for PDE, not sure what that is right now, but I'll remeber soon enough.
PDE Portable equals
Private Data Eradicator Portable (an app I wrote from scratch)
*In a high singing voice* All the little creatures of the forest!
and stuff...
Well,
I tried converting that to a table, but it didn't work properly.
Also, I'm going to set up a proper development page for this at some point.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Thanks
You know I can't edit it now eh?
I think it's because it contains the table which I'm not aloud to use.
(Oops, I guess this comment Goes to Marko, I missed his comment)
Hopefully John can set me up with Moderator privileges.
Probably
I'm going to put one up later tomorrow in the development section. I'll take a look through the Beta Testing forums though.

MIT
The MIT License for Xenon is correct, however it does include some LGPL and Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike parts. (7-Zip, 6-Zip, and Icons (except the logo))
I don't know if I would call it PAFed as it doesn't have a help.html or an installer, although that is because it is not an official PA App.
cowsay Moo
cowthink 'Dude, why are you staring at me.'
I've changed the table to pa style...
... but it seems there are some Apps missing on the table.

Cool chart
I like it.
Has been requested often but noone did it...
I am working on Griffith (http://griffith.berlios.de/)
Its GPL, alpha stage almost paf compliant but I have to update to the newest version and finish it and then upload it.
I just started at University so I dont have that much free time...

I'd still be editing it...
But I can't. I don't have privleges to use the table in there so I can't edit it anymore. It would be appreciated if someone could switch it back.
Marko did that...
BTW love your sig

Since he isn't a moderator, he can't edit the table. Tables require Mod Permissions

As zgitrdun said
Unfortunately...
I'd much rather John set me up with moderator permissions if he sees this as I sent him an e-mail 'bout it and I don't think it's too hard to set up quickly.

If the table was removed.
As much as I appreciate it, I can't edit my own post with the table.
(and I've been asking for 12 days now to have it switched)
pardon me ...
... but I've believed that You get moderator state
What shall we do ...
remove the table in order to allow You to add new Apps or should I add the needed entries?

Nope
Ryan set me the author of http://portableapps.com/apps/games/tile_world_portable, and we discovered although he set me the author, apparently I need the permissions.
For now, I'd appreciate if you could remove the table, but hopefully John sees this an gives me the moderator role (or at least a role to use tables) as he asked me to e-mail him about moderating.
Side Note: John, I would appreciate it a lot as I'm always around as well and spam is left in the off-topic forums for days because you never go there, and Ryan does after a few days.
Gee
Too bad you can't make a new table in a new posting with updated entries.

The original entry can be
The original entry can be updated by the appropriate people...which brings me to mention that the current status of Firefox should be changed to 'up to date - yes' with the release of the .8 point release.
"PA Ver" & "Current" columns...
Once y'all get the table-editing stuff sorted out, I have a suggestion. Instead of a binary "Up-to-date?" column, how 'bout two columns that show the current PA and in-the-wild versions of a particular app? If they ain't equal, PA isn't Up-To-Date.
For example:
Just a thought. -hea

That's a great idea, thanks.
Not quite
The original entry can be updated by the appropriate people...
Unfortunately the originator isn't one of the "appropiate people" and he is the one that wants to. The "appropiate people" don't have the time.
Posting an updated table is faster, easier, involves less people, reduces the number of postings and solves the problem.

offsite table
Just create a table on a webpage on a webserver somewhere and link to it that way you can edit it.
