We'd like users (like you) to maintain the information on this site, but are aware that the current edit interface is not yet end-user friendly (we're working on it).

If you don't feel up for the task, or simply lack the time, feel free to add pointers here, so that others will hopefully get to do it..

An easy way to submit new apps: add the Bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks.

• visit any website (that you may want to add to apps.)
• [optionally] select some text. (select a single-word: title, select multiple words: description)
• activate the “Bookmarklet” → popup browser window.
• choose if you want to submit an “app” or create a wiki-page/bookmark.
• [optionally] add a custom description, article, link or notes.
• preview, fill in CAPTCHA (or log-in) and save

Bookmarklets are smart bookmarks. They usually allow one to perform complex task via a single click (web-browser bookmark-toolbar). - Create a new bookmark in your browser and edit it's Location to:

javascript:Q=document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:document.getSelection();void(window.open('http://apps.linuxaudio.org/?do=dokubookmark&te='+escape(Q)+'&ur='+escape(location.href)+'&ti='+escape(document.title),'dokuwikiadd','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,toolbars=yes,width=680,height=520,left=210,top=150,status=yes'));

PS. We are aware that the tag list needs to be cleaned up. (jul 24, 2008 ;) )
