Personally I am not really for putting a link to a "rate" button on our page. For me, this more or less falls in the same category as placing ads. In fact, I am pretty much against banners - I hate it when a page is cluttered by dozens of banners, the only two reasons why we have a SF net banner are the SF usage stats which are generated using it (not as if they were useful, they are still mostly bogus), and of course that we owe it to SourceForge as they are providing us with all our development resources. But if we do link with a banner to OSDir.com (which in my eyes doesn't help us - it's them who benefits from it), then we should also do it for Versiontracker and Freshmeat, which IMHO have a much bigger market impact anyway - this is the first time I heard about OSDir.com but almost every Unix or MacOS user will know Freshmeat/Versiontracker. This is just my two euro cents :-) Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
