 * Wait as the game packages and uploads your addon.
 * Optional: do the same thing with the Steam upload.
 * You're done, your addon should now appear on [http://te4.org/addons/tome te4.org addons list].
 * Optional (but recommended): Create a te4.org forum account and start a new topic in the Addons section to give players a place to provide feedback about your addon and link to the topic from the te4.org addon page created for your addon.  You will have to wait for a moderator to approve your topic before you can link to it.
