I would like to be able to offer authors of Code4Lib Journal articles a good place to host code discussed in an article, if they desire it. This could do that too. So I think it's a great idea. As with everything, what it would need is someone to volunteer to take responsibility to setup/manage

Andrew, the pear.php.net repository site really seems to be essentially what I was envisioning (especially with the proposals section). Erik, there are several good reasons to build our own rather than use space available in other domains. The first and foremost is that the library community is

I like the idea a lot, but the main obstacle lies in migrating a critical mass (which I can't define) of the significant code libraries over to code4lib -- enough so that the repository becomes recognized as valuable resource. Following on that, would the site be a mirror site (and what sort of

I'm one of those former software engineers, and I think there is a need for a repository of library-specific applications. For example, I've been thinking I'd like to develop a web-based personnel scheduling program. Library scheduling has some unique problems, as I'm sure you all know. There are

Thanks, Tom! The BYU app sounds like a great starting point! We do have A, B, and C weeks, as do many libraries, I'm sure, and I would want to add that feature, along with a swap board. I think I may have looked at the VT calendar a couple of weeks ago. I'll take another look. We'd also need to

One of the things that's really lacking in the library community is something like a sourceforge.net to serve as a central repository for all opensource library projects and this certainly sounds like a step in the right direction (maybe there already is such a thing and I don't know about it).
