I don't like CVS that much but it is better than nothing and sf.net is much more than free source code control (mirroring for one). As for publicity, I usually make use of the web page hosting at sourceforge and then use http://www.google.com/addurl/ to add the page to a search engine (as most people use Google). Similar advice for yahoo, etc. There are places that claim to submit to multiple sites but I've never used them ( http://www.evrsoft.com/fastsubmit/ ) If the module is partially DBI compliant try and get it listed on http://python.org/topics/database/modules.html (see the "Email Us" link on the left of that page). If it isn't slightly compliant get it on http://python.org/topics/database/other-db.html Finally, register the project on http://freshmeat.net I find this covers all the places I would think to search; I'm sure there are other things that could be done but it will get you started. RE clipper, have you seen http://www.harbour-project.org/ , http://www.xharbour.org/index.asp?page=about/index and http://www.itk.ru/english/clip/aboutclip.shtml I have to confess I've not used any of them. The Clipper community is still going strong. Chris _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
