Sure, if you're willing we can work something out. Will have a think about the FTP part. Thanks for volunteering!

This may be a good start.

Okay boys and girls, Dan has got us started on a list.

Remember what we add should be preferably Free and/or Open Source. If it's shareware then we need to ask permission before putting it on any disk. Most shareware authors would probably give permission but it may be a headache to administer all that.

If you have suggestions for what to add, post a message here, and we'll add it to the list.

How about applications (free & shareware stuff) DVDs/CDs that are distributed along with Magazines like Mac Format, Macworld etc..? Should we include those also in the list..?

You mean a list of what discs are available from other places? Perhaps I'm not understanding but I don't see what that would add. The idea is that we'll do our own disc from this list eventually.

What I meant was whether we should/ could include to this list any free or/and shareware apps that are being distributed by DVDs/CDS come with those Magazines also ? Sorry for the confusion Magnus!

It's a good place for anyone to look for what we can put on our list. Thanks for the suggestion.

thanks for letting me do my 2 bytes

. I wanted to make 3 changes to the sheet:

Add a Review Column, so that people can check out the review
Ratings column
Also we should let them know whether its freeware or open source or shareware

any more suggestions?
