I think Bill's suggestion about picking a license is important. I didn't dwell on it too much and just picked GPL when I added the CronTabEdit project, but in truth, I don't think that's quite right. I'm sure others will want to make their own decisions, but I like the approach on some of the JS sites - a copyright credit in the source that is supposed to remain there. Other than that I really have no desire to put strings on what I'm putting up there - but that's my own personal preference.
As far as whether or not this is the right place or should it be on the Witango site - I think that part of the perception problem is the lack of search results on a well-know third-party site. Having lots of projects up there in a Witango category would not only help with the perception of available 'starter' code but would also put that code out where other budding developers will actually find it. It's great to have resources on the Witango site, but they will only be found if you go looking specifically for Witango stuff. Doesn't help if you haven't heard of yet.
I've requested that Witango be added to the list of programming languages, and got confirmation that someone has been assigned to the request. Hopefully it'll be there in the next day or so. I also hope to be getting my files up there in the same timeframe for that first project. I'll keep you all posted.

Now I like open source as much as the next guy, but Oracle and MS SQL pay the bills.
I'd ask for, and be happy to contribute for, Oracle, MS SQL and MySQL.
Now I know that those first two are going to raise some hackles, but I do a lot of work in them. So how about we pick an SQL standard (SQL:2003, SQL200n etc), and reference that, rather than a specific implementation of an RDBMS?
