It has long been my intention to publish my software, the only PAT
tester download and conversion software available natively on Linux, in
the software centre. However after being in the 'Review in progress'
stage now for 7 months and 1 week and not being able to get any replies
from anyone on the matter I have come to the conclusion that it is not
physically possible to get anything published in there!
As a result of a rather interesting conversation with a developer last
night I have decided to make my program open source and publish it on
github. You can now find it at the address below, published under GPL v3.
https://github.com/cliftonts/clifton-test-suite.git
Now I am very new to this, some of the aims of this project are to
educate me in the way github and open source production works, to gain
feedback on my (mediocre) programming skills and to hopefully learn more
modern techniques as I learned to program in the 80's in basic. So
please do feel free to pitch in with an opinion or a modification.
Windows PAT testing software is seriously expensive and I feel there is
a place for a free and open alternative for what is actually a very
simple piece of software.
Please do take a look, be honest with me but please don't be too cruel.
