The idea: Put the Software Registry into Freebase

...

Sample/Prototype Freebase App

For instructions on how to post your software, visit Adding your software to Freebase

We've created an initial version of the app using Acre: http://www.freebase.com/apps/app/user/flyingzumwalt/fedoraregistry^{Image Removed}/fedoraregistry

(Trying to embed the app into this wiki page. If anyone has ideas, please give it a try!)

How the app currently works

Everything about this app is up for scrutiny, improvement, discussion and/or replacement. I just wanted to have a proof of concept to get us started. You can see the source code, including the MQL search that the app is running against freebase, here: http://acre.freebase.com/#app=/user/flyingzumwalt/fedoraregistry&file=index^{Image Removed}

Ultimately, the goal is to make it as easy as possible to add your software to Freebase and have complete information about it show up in the app. At the same time, we don't want to go inventing a special magical Fedora Commons Community Software ontology because that would defeat half of the utility of using Freebase.
