A release in the state 'released' can be seen and downloaded by everyone.

'Not released' releases can only be seen by project owners and project contributors.

'Disabled' releases can be seen by everyone but the actual files can not be downloaded.

A Catalog Release is for projects that are production ready and that are end-user "install friendly".

If you already have an existing project and feel that it is ready to be included in the OpenNTF Apache or GPL Catalogs you will need to send a mail to IP-Manager at openntf.org.
