| 1. Ask one of the Cytoscape core team members (via a message to the cytoscape-discuss mailing list) to post information on the cytoscape.org [http://cytoscape.org/plugins2.php plugins page]. It is best for this information to be concise to encourage users to read it. The information can be the same as you used for the e-mail announcement. | |

| * You should host your plugin on your own download page so you have full control over the website. Unfortunately, user plugins can't be hosted on Cytoscape.org. If you don't have a website and your plugin is open-source, you can get a free website from sourceforge.net (that includes a powerful open-source software project management system). | * If you wish to host your own plugin download site you do not need to submit the plugin to Cytoscape. You will need to generate an xml file that the Cytoscape Plugin Manager can read, please see the [:Plugin_Download_Site_Tutorial: download site tutorial] for how to create this file. Please make sure to send the link to this xml file in your announcement email so that other uses can access it. |
If you have a new plugin that you want to release to the Cytoscape community, you have a few options to advertise it.

Go to [http://chianti.ucsd.edu/cyto_web/plugins/pluginsubmittype.php] and follow the instructions to submit your plugin.
- Send an announcement to the announcement mailing list, which has hundreds of people on it. See ["How to send an announcement"]
