• a Project whose project focus is the Fedora Repository (not the Fedora Repository Architecture – this could change)
• Software with at least one Software Developer listed as its developer

...

Some projects exist that are not software but whose focus is Fedora Repository. We don't want these to show up in the products registry. For example, the Hydra Project is the creator of the Hydra Framework. The software (Hydra Framework) will show up in the product registry because it satisfies both requirements listed above, while the project itself (Hydra Project) will not show up in the product registry because it is not Software with at least one software developer listed. This allows us to filter out projects like Hydra Project and Fedora Commons itself.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To add your own software to Freebase and get it to show up in the registry, follow these steps:

Get a Freebase Account

For starters, create a Freebase account at http://freebase.com if you don't already have one.

Create a Project with Fedora Repository as its focus

Go to Fedora Repository: Projects http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000c389da1/-/projects/project_focus/projects^{Image Removed}

click Add More Topics

...

View the new project that you have just created. Click orang "edit this topic" button towards the top right.
Click "Add another type..." and enter Software, selecting the Software type from the drop down. You will have multiple options in the dropdown. Choose the one from Computer Commons; /computer/software.

In the new Software box, click "edit" next to "Developer". Type in the name of the developer you want to list (probably yourself). If you don't already exist in Freebase, click "create new Software Developer" at the bottom of the drop-down.

Check the Product Registry to see if your software has shown up

Go to http://fedoraregistry.freebaseapps.com/ and see if your software has shown up.

There may be a delay of up to 5-10 minutes before your updates show up in the registry app. This is especially true if you are a new or infrequent freebase user.
