Is there a myspace type site that is a place for programmers to post their apps for people to download? It would have to be user friendly like tucows but allow a programmer to create their own home page where they can post their apps (including open source if they wish). People can network and link to each other, rate other’s apps, and search for code by platform/language/keyword/most popular, etc. It would support EVERY platform imaginable, from 8-bit atari code to .NET and Java apps. Does anything like this exist? ---

SourceForge: [http://sf.net](http://sf.net) RubyForge for Ruby-specific stuff: [http://rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) It’s not everything you want, but it’s enough. I don’t think anybody _really_ wants to be able to rate the quality of other developer’s apps. Hot or Not doesn’t have much of a place in the development community. Ben ---

Since this is c.l.lisp, try: [common-lisp.net](http://common-lisp.net) but if you have to use other languages, look to these: [sourceforge.net](http://sourceforge.net) = open-source only [freshmeat.net](http://freshmeat.net) = prefers open source ---
