Hello, I do keep a blog with R and non R related "snippets" of code. Besides that, something like Alfresco, Plone or other document management systems could be useful. Maybe the solution is too complex for a single user, but you can keep tags and other kind of metadata attached to your code a

Tal, I would still use Subversion. Think of Subversion as as an electronic filing system. You can organize code into project trees, with sub-folders and so forth. As you come across code snippets that you want to save, copy them to a file and commit the file to a project tree or sub-folder,
