Hi,

I’ve made a ruby script to translate UTM to LAT,LON coordinates and  
viceversa. I think that GitHub and RubyForge are too big for this simple  
project: it works and I’ve no intention to continue it. I will use GPL  
license. Where can I upload it?

Regards,  
Andrés

[gist.github.com](http://gist.github.com) will make an impromptu git repository that people can  
pull from and you can update, but keep you from having to maintain a  
full ‘project’.

Gist is also a paste server, so you could embed the code in your blog  
or share the link with folks.

Since your code does conversions, why not contribute it to the Units  
library?

:), thanks for your answers. I’ve made a gist  
([4075’s gists · GitHub](http://gist.github.com/4075)), and send it to the Units Library  
Administrator.

Thanks again,
