---

What is the best way to raise awareness of an open source project you're working on? For example, you've developed a program/tool you think will make the lives of developers easier and you want to share your work.

Are there websites that are good for sharing your work and getting feedback on them? Or is it more about proper marketing and buying advertisements?

Answer 1

Sourceforge and launchpad come to mind as good options.

Answer 2

CodePlex is also an option.

Answer 3

• Blog about it.

• Twitter about it with folks you think will be interested in helping with development or will benefit from using your project.

• Put it up on Codeplex once you're ready to share version 0.1
