We might be able to create a place on the Derby Wiki ( http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/ ) for users to share code. One concern I have about putting it on the Wiki is users must contribute code under the ASL (http://www.apache.org/licenses/) , and there's no way to enforce that with the Wiki. For example, when you upload a file to a Jira issue it includes a step that allows granting license to the ASF. The Wiki doesn't have that feature. I'll ping [email protected] to see what other apache projects are doing. -jean
