I am trying to figure out the best way to go about this. To learn the gtk2.0 tool kit in c I wrote a small password generating program. I set it up to work from the command line and via a gui. Actually I am kind of proud of it. It is simple and easy to use. I just don't know what to do with it now. Is there some place I can post it? Is there any interest or demand for this sort of program?

You might want to consider uploading it to www.winsite.com - a few years ago I had a couple of programs I'd "thrown together", and although things have slowed down a bit, there is still the occasional download. This is just one option amongst many.

SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/) and Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/) are two other options.
Also Google Code (http://code.google.com/).

Good luck to you!

I thought I heard some thing about sourceforge not being free open source friendly, or at least less friendly than it had been.

In what aspect? Find me a link, as I'd be interested if changes like this were going on at SF.

I have a few active projects there, all under OSI approved licenses. Their tagline is still: "SourceForge.net: Open Source Software". It's a pretty major requirement at SF that source code be available.

If you don't think SourceForge is for you, though, look elsewhere. Launchpad is great. I can't personally vouch for Google Code, but I've heard good things.
