Pat, While my library has an institutional account we currently use for private repos, we have released some code which is maintained under individual accounts. The code in the individual repositories is copyright North Carolina State University, but isn't included under the institutional account. It might be that in the future we release some code through the institutional account, but have not yet. There are good reasons why this might be the case for other institutions as well. For instance an institution could allow code to be released but not want to take on responsibility for maintaining it. While our library is sharing some code through individuals and their accounts, I wonder if listing individual accounts like this is out of scope for the page you've created? Would it be worth it to create a page that lists individual accounts of code4libbers? Are there other ways to find code released by code4lib folks?
