Eventually http://www.amahi.org will have areas where community members can nominate applications for deployment on Amahi. This will make it easier for contributors to select applications.
Of course, the application you submit MUST be able to be legally distributed through the "one-click" mechanism. In most cases the application will be made available under an open source license that allows this.
===Contact Amahi===Send an email to ''support at amahi.org'' indicating the application that you would like to become a contributor for, and some details on your level of experience. We'll give you access to the contributor area of amahi.org and you can proceed from there.
The core Amahi team needs to verify that you are a "good" person, in that the application you will be submitting does not do anything malicious. Chances are we'll give you access to the contributor area of amahi.org and you can proceed from there. ===Package the Application===
Packaging the applicaiton for deployment on Amahi involves
* Naming the application and describing it (short/long descriptions)
For a more detailed explanation refer to [[Package Application Documentation]]
===Test Yourself/With Selected Users===Once you have packaged the application and you can "one-click" install it yourself you;re ready to release it to a "test community." This is a group of Amahi users who have volunteered to test new application installations. ===Release the Application===The core Amahi team will review the application and then make it visible to the broad base of the Amahi user community. At this stage any member of the community can select the application for installation on their Amahi installation. ===Maintain and Upgrade===Once the application is released you will be able to * see the number of users who have tested the application* review the number of "live" installations of your application* monitor feedback from the Amahi community through a dedicated forum.
