I thought we could make a resource of places/ways in which a developer can get his/her application out there.

I'll start:

They have a little RB app that you can use to submit/update your products, but I installed a new hard drive on my machine and can't read German well enough to find it again. Oh well...

There's also Apple's download page.

The key to getting your software out there is to make sure it is well written, useful and attractive. Then....

- Submit it to versiontracker
- Submit it to Apple (Mac OS X Downloads)
- E-mail magazines (Macworld etc.) and see if they'd like it on their CDs
- Press-release announcing it to macnn, macminute etc.
- Advertising if you have the budget (people don't like popups though!)

If you have an good application word of mouth will also help it spread.

I've always like macosxapps. Its great to be able to browse for apps without paying for MacosxappsPro, if you know what I mean.
