There must be guidelines for uploading a package to the marketplace. It might be an idea to post a link to these guidelines as a sticky in the Freestuff forum, along with some manuals how to use WinZip/WinRar/Stuffit to zip up the items into this format. Maybe some explanation on how to use the details section of the upload page, the commercial/non-commercial choice, how to write a good readme, and so on. Links to utilities like RTEncoder could also be very useful.

There's been quite some gripes about freebies in the recent past. Well, griping doesn't accomplish anything. Providing a manual might not be a perfect solution, but it sure is better than none at all.

I'm willing to write an illustrated tutorial that shows how to set up a folder structure and package it into a ZIP file using WinZip and WinRar so that it meets marketplace conditions. A Mac user might be able to do the same for Stuffit/Expander. Someone else might have a good understanding of how a readme should be constructed. And others might be able to translate those tutorials into Spanish, French or another language.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
