Everyone (*cough* Neil van Dyke *cough*) should but their work in progress on Github (or other public DVCS site). You never know when someone will fork your project.
I'll take the full Git hit just as soon as that professorship comes through and I no longer have to waste time on things that make money. :)
Actually, last week I reluctantly dumped a bunch of somewhat-useful-but-not-necessarily-polished-or-finished stuff into PLaneT packages.
One example of less-finished is "http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-uri/";, but, now that it's been revived from 2004, it's on a path to being what I want for representing and manipulating URI, for both convenient scripting use and high-performance server use.
I've been releasing packages as LGPL, so that people can use them, and so that they can be forked it I get hit by a bus. But I'd strongly prefer that people not fork any of the stuff I've released unless I've declared it obsolete. (If I don't get alienated by forking, I'll be more likely to release my end-all-be-all time library sooner.) If I do get hit by a bus, however, I will have fewer objections to forking.
