Hello guys! It's time to submit 1.6.0 to third party sites advertising for us.
Don't forget to advertise on darwinports.com :-)

I'm sure that'll happen on its own, some kind of spontaneous combustion ;-) But regardless of that, I am most pleased to share with all of you that in some sort of unofficial "benchmarking" of our web presence (ranking) I've found consistently that Google searches for the term "MacPorts" only brings up our favorite eech at the third page. First hit is to our home page; second hit is to, very appropriately, www.macports.org/install.php ; third is to (funny enough) our Wikipedia entry (which does not list darwinports.com anywhere!); fourth hit is to our online guide and fifth is to our Trac Wiki. Sweet! Needless to say, those results deserve a big woot! and a pad on our own backs! Merry Christmas ;-) Regards,... -jmpp

Good news, however, to shower a bit your enthousiasm, a quite natural idea, searching name_of_a_port and macports often gives it first or second result. Example: google(mpc macports) at the moment gives it first place, second and third to db.macports.org, fourth place goes to what seems to be an up-to-date mirror on a Georgia Tech server... The new "Available ports" page that anybody to see at first place is only 10th (not bad but there is room for progress). Emmanuel PS: what does eech mean? Wikipedia tells me it is an armenian dish!
