Oh what joy. Fons Sonnemans and Loek van den Ouweland have created a repository for ExtensionMethods. Go on, you know you want to. The site ExtensionMethod, allows you to submit your own creations to the community.
Now I had this idea, just around 10 minutes before I found the site, so they beat me fair and square. (By a mile).
So therefore here is my top three ideas for the site, which I had, and hope they think about.
1. Grade it
Allow us to vote for it. However more than that, flag it with Compiled, Tested. Little icons that the site show next to each method.
2. Open Source the ExtensionMethod
Allow the community to edit the code, which will improve it over time. If I use it, and it fails because of something small, allow me to edit it, and solve the problem for everyone. Add original author, and contributor names to the list. Perhaps allow an 'Editor' per Type, to look after it and make sure its tested and complete.
2. Give us an Assembly
Run a build, once a month, compile all the snippets, which could be done automatically, if you get the correct data from the submitted snippet.
As part of the grading, is whether your automated compilation worked, when including the snippet. (snippet compiler like, compile on the fly and validate the method).
Now we can all download an Assembly for all these community driven ExtensionMethods.
