The project
Submit a tool
Suggest an open-source tool for the index. A person reviews every submission before anything is listed.
Know a tool that belongs here? Suggestions are welcome. The index stays small and curated on purpose, so nothing is listed automatically: a person reviews each submission first.
What to include
- A link to the project. Its website or source repository is enough to start.
- The name and one line on what it does. Plain words, the way you would describe it to a colleague.
- The app or edition, if there is more than one. Some projects use different licenses for the app, the server or a paid version. Tell us which part you mean.
- A category, if one fits. Not sure? Say so and we will place it.
- Anything else worth knowing (optional): who it suits, why you like it, what to watch out for.
How to send it
Open an issue on the index’s GitLab repository with the details above. That route needs a GitLab account; if you would rather not create one, use the FOSSadmin contact page instead.
Comfortable editing the site? Merge requests are welcome too. Each
listing is one Markdown file under src/content/docs/tools/.
What happens next
We check that the project is open source, maintained enough to recommend, and useful to people who want to choose open-source software. Listing is free and cannot be bought. If the tool goes in, its page links to the project’s own support channels so the people who rely on it can help fund it.
