<v Voiceover>Now that the</v> package is built and passed all the checks, if you want to get it to CRAN, now's the time. CRAN is probably the best way to get it out to the masses. You used to have to upload it through FTP, then send an email to the core team telling them that your package was ready. They have thankfully put together a nice little website where you can easily submit your package. You have to put your name and your email address and the name and email address should match the maintainer field of the description file. You upload your file using regular choose file dialogue and you click upload package. Within maybe even less than a day, your package will be up on CRAN and built, ready for everyone to use. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
