This guideline is not a do all or nothing guideline, but the more of the things stated here you'll do, the better your program can be used as Prior Art.
- Release Early, Release Often (The Cathedral and the Bazaar)
- Use public mailing-lists that provide full mbox-download of the complete list-archive
- Post to Usenet-Discussions
- Use public Version Control Systems (as CVS on http://sourceforge.net)
- Make regular Backups of your work
- Try to get your software mirrored on several servers (as it is done for releases on sourceforge.net automatically)
- Software Release Practice HOWTO by Eric Steven Raymond
- Create legal timestamps on each new release (as you can freely do on e.g. prevalent.de)
