As a general rule its pretty hard to get existing code accepted into
commons. I've generally come to the opinion now that if the code is good
enough and theres a buzz about it, then the users will find you wherever
you're at.
Finished code is hard to get in - because then it never grows in
community or gets developed further and remains a black box to the
rest of the group unless they happen to use it.
Finder's a good example of existing code getting a lot out of the
community when it joins (got ripped apart and important bits made
their way into IO).
I'm currently planning to put things like this in
committers/people/bayard and publish on people.apache.org/~bayard. See
what kind of stink I can cause :)
