GNOME Gets its Own Software Repository

Posted by simoniker on from the gnomic-inspiration dept.

PostThis writes "After the attack to the Gnome servers a few months back the Gnome Project was left without a third party software repository (which wasn't that usable anyway). The gap was filled in very recently by GnomeFiles.org. The site was built using BeBits as a model (BeOS users still swear by it) and they are looking into filling up their Gnome/GTK+ software database quickly; they are offering prizes to Gnome developers who will submit an app during the first week of the site's launch."
