These are the instructions for adding your software to Freebase so that it will show up in the Fedora Products Registry app.
Note: This is a total experiment right now, meaning any and all of this information is likely to change over the coming months.
Should list
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.
To add your own software to Freebase and get it to show up in the registry, follow these steps:
For starters, create a Freebase account at http://freebase.com if you don't already have one.
Go to Fedora Repository: Projects http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000c389da1/-/projects/project_focus/projects
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.
Go to http://fedoraregistry.freebaseapps.com/ and see if your software has shown up.
To fill more of the columns in the registry, you have to put in some special metadata that didn't fit into the other Type shemas.
Add type: Software Component
