GTK+ GnomeFiles.org (OSNews' sister site & GTK+ software repository) is celebrating 1000 applications added to its database. Since GnomeFiles' launch 1.5 years ago the site grew enormously and it now serves more than 22,000 web pages per day on average and it includes a recently improved version for mobile browsers (optimized for PDAs & smartphones, plain phones should be using its WAP version).

Gnomefiles has proved to be the best place to debut my software...
On sourceforge I have to fight through a 15 minute process to post files (it takes me that long to dig it up in the docs). And, to boot, anyone who wants to find the project has to deal with the worlds weakest search engine (yahoo) and about 55 dead projects in the front of the listing.
Freshmeat has proved to be very nice as well.

But on gnomefiles I can REALLY easily post new versions.

Thanks for the awesome website and community!
