A COMMENT FROM A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER! --- (March 29, 2007)
I found that the visibility of having my project listed on Sunfreeware
was invaluable in attracting a large number of downloads, and quickly
bringing a great deal of constructive feedback my way - enabling me to
fix issues quickly and develop a quality tool, tested in a wide range
of situations.
Without this feedback, a complex tool such as Seccheck would have
undoubtedly contained issues that would have been hard to track and
fix. But thanks to the project being listed on Sunfreeware, I've
received the required feedback, and it's been of a very high quality -
which is a great testament to the users that your site attracts -
professionals, developers and sysadmins who know where to go when they
want quality Solaris packages.
As a Solaris System Administrator, I know that I can always find the
packages I am looking for on Sunfreeware, and am very pleased that I
have been able to share my work through this avenue.
Thanks again for the listing.
Kevin
