Artha (http://artha.sourceforge.net), an offline open source, cross-platform English thesaurus built atop WordNet.

I had to publizie it in the Ubuntu Forums where I got good traction: suggestions, appreciation, feature requests. It eventually made it into the Debian repo and now is in most distro repos including Fedora, Suse, etc.

I'd say it was equally fun for me to get the feedback and incorporate it back into the system. I enjoyed it as much as coding it.
