I think the old discussion was looking more for a way to host code snippets as opposed to version controlled projects, which I agree that GitHub and the like already do nicely. Would we really need more than a code4lib.pastebin.com? That being said, a code planet would be really cool. I know that GitHub and BitBucket publish ATOM feeds of a user's activity but I'm not so sure about other code hosting sites. Anyways, just a thought... Aaron
