FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
These applications are awesome! I can’t believe that they are free! How can I help to support these applications?
- That is a terrific question. If these programs provide value to you, it makes sense to give something back to the community. The best way to do this may be different for each application, so read more at the project’s website.
In general, here are ways that you can give back to the open-source community:
- Install and use the program, then share your experiences (good or bad) with the project mailing list.
- Subscribe to the project mailing list and answer questions that users are asking.
- Share any ideas you have about the software, such as features that you would like to see implemented or any changes that you think would improve the project.
- Create documentation about the project, such as how to install, configure, and use the application.
- If you are a programmer, look at the code and report any bugs you find and share any improvements that you make.
- Some projects provide a way to contribute money to the project.
- Tell everyone you know about the application and help them start using it.
The great thing about contributing to an open-source project is that you will be helping everyone who uses the software. If users give back to the project, there will be a constant improvement in the quality of the application. Here are some
ideas on how to
Participate, from Ubuntu. - Install and use the program, then share your experiences (good or bad) with the project mailing list.
Why do you only include open-source applications? Why not include applications that are free, but not open-source?
- The goal of the LOOP list is to demonstrate the quality of open-source software and the advantages of the open-source development model. There are many high-quality free applications, but they do not have the same advantages
of the open-source development model.
You keep talking about the advantages of the open-source software development model. What are they?
- The easiest to explain advantage is the concept of shared cost. In the traditional software development model, many different software companies each create their own version of a software application, such as a word processor.
When a customer buys the software, they are only contributing to one of these versions. With the open-source model, all resources that are spent on an open-source project will benefit everyone who uses the application.
There are many advantages to open-source, which you can learn about by visiting the links below.
Some of these applications only run on Windows, and not Linux. Why do you include these?
-
The goal of the LOOP list is to demonstrate the advantages of open-source applications. One of those advantages is the ability to port the application to other operating systems. This means that anyone with the time, skill, and desire can
port these applications to Linux or any other operating system. It is also likely that these applications will run in Linux using Wine (http://www.winehq.com/).
Why don’t you include applications that only run on Linux? These Linux applications are open-source, so they could be ported to Windows, right?
- That is true, but an overwhelming majority of people use Windows operating systems. If these people knew they could keep their applications, they would be more likely to switch to a Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu Linux).
I disagree with the applications that were chosen for a particular category. How can I make my case for another application?
-
You can debate the pros and cons of each application on the
LoopListDebate page.
Why did you create a new list? There are other lists out there with similar information.
- This list serves a specific purpose, which is listed at the top of this page. Other lists on the web have good information, but they were not what I was looking for. Here are some projects similar to the LOOP list:
