More on the MacCode repo

So while at c4 I was talking to folks, and a few of us hit upon the aggravation of trying to find source code examples for mac apps. They are everywhere, but not in a centralized location. Apparently metrowerks used to have something you could submit code snippets to, but that's long ago in a far far away place.

So something has to be done. Code on cocoadev.com is hard to find because it's a wiki. Code in other places is either hard to find, hard to gather, or hard to just even know about. So basically what I've done is create a repo on Google's code site, and started adding code to it. I've not added much mind you, but I have started adding svn:externals along with other folks doing some work as well.

• PSMTabBarControl is now hosted out of this repo.
• All past and future weekly cocoa challenge source will be hosted out of this repo
• Some code Adam Iser wrote to give you pill bar toolbars is in the repo
• Other stuff

There's a need for code here, from anyone who is interested in submitting it. I think that for this to be successful, a community would have to form around it, in general. So I was thinking of creating a mailing list for this as well, but I wanted to know how much interest there is from other folks.

Also, and this is directed to jasarien directly, the solution for DudeMenu is in the same Xcode project as the previous Dude app. Hurray targets.

Anyhow, the repo info is here:

If you are interested in submitting code, do a whois on my domain and you will find my email address to contact me with.
