From: Jake McArthur Date: 2006-04-29T03:36:42+09:00 Subject: Re: Ruby Drops You're right. It is very similar. We do, however, have slightly different ideas. Yours seems to be a repository based around nuggets of code which is searched by comparing the nuggets' "intent" with your own. I really like it too, but it's not the same. Mine is to compare code directly, even code that normally wouldn't be classified as a stand-alone "nugget," like inline code inside large projects, code that is a bit interspersed with other code, etc. In this way, similarities within individual projects can be located and factored out. This approach seems to focus less on explicitly sharing _everything_ (and trying to make code work for _everybody_) and more on getting your own project done, with the improvement of the collective code base for everybody coming almost as a side-effect. - Jake McArthur On Apr 28, 2006, at 10:16 AM, chiaro scuro wrote: > Jake, > > I am working on something uncannily similar to what you describe.
