hello,
i'm new here and i only registered to give "my" app into the list. Kephra is a text editor that uses the same basis as Notepad++, but Perl as a language and is written with a litte broader goal (even its in early stage). In the all inc distribution, which is also offered on its sorceforge site, should meet Kephra the requirement of this site, even if its just an sfx (to make an nsis installer is a goal of mine nevertheless). With its size (20MB-4MB download) should it also pass the tests here. In this version (not when installed from CPAN) Kephra keeps all configs local so you can copy the installation whenever you like.
sounds good?
thanks for comments.

Hi Lichtkind. Kephra sounds good but I think you should add a link to the Sourceforge page in your post.

First off, welcome to PortableApps.com and thanks for consider our format.
Does this offer any concrete advantage over Notepad++? We do Notepad++ for a number of reasons: it's stable, it's full-featured, it's actively maintained and it's the most popular open source text editor (781,000 downloads last month).
Of course, we'd be happy to assist you with packaging it up in PortableApps.com Format (which is required for listing in the App Directory here and will soon be required for all promotion here). You can find the specification, installer and other info on our Development pages.
Oh, and for others, you can find Kephra here: http://kephra.sourceforge.net/
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Np++ is a wrapper around Scintilla, while Kephra will wrap all the nice CPAN tools a perl (not only) programmer wants to have by his fingertips(Tidy, PPI and so on). The nice thing is, since its all perl, this modules are just small text files, keeping this all small and transparent. But yes currently there is not much of a difference, only Notepad has more feature and plugins but an inconsistent UI.
I read already that page and installed NSIS and reading into it before i posted. Maybe time with next major release will be perfect but than it could be done simultaneously on this page too, when we will have some extension you currently not see in notepad.
