Request to use Tag feature for entry into the Free Software Directory

[hwpplayer1]

Thank you for creating Stract and releasing it as free software under the AGPLv3. Because it is free software, I would like to add Stract to the Free Software Foundation's Free Software Directory (FSD). What is preventing me from doing so is the FSD's requirement to review a specific version of a program. The best way for us to review a specific version is if a project uses the Tag feature of github. Then we can link to it from the FSD with the added benefit of not having to run nonfree Javascript in order to get a copy. Would you be willing to use the Tag feature to create a downloadable copy of a specific version?

Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for your interest! Would it be possible to simply use specific git checksums instead? I just know I'll forget to update the tags regularly

I will be happy to help you for updating the tags regularly. I guess it should be a tar.gz source file. Thanks for your understanding. Happy Hacking !

Hello, have you had a chance to think about our request. Updating tags is a chore, but we would need it only if the Directory entry is updated. Listing the project in the Directory would help making users more informed about software freedom.

I don't have the bandwidth to do that regularly right now, I'm sorry. I'll leave this issue open for when that changes
