Vista - Script-based code sample library (HTA)

Awhile back someone was talking about the idea
of creating an extensive library of the "best" scripts.
Of course, the best is a matter of opinion, so I'm
not sure that goal is realistic. But I got to thinking
about code storage and organizing, and I came up with
this, which might be of interest to some people:

http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.php5#codelib

It's an HTA program with an MSI file serving as an
SQL database "backend". The program is designed
for easy storage of code snippets, functions, whole
script files, and even binaries like ActiveX controls.
Code samples are stored by language, with searchable
keywords and descriptions. And people can share an entire
searchable, catalgued library just by sharing their MSI
database file.

The package for download is pre-loaded with a
number of VBS samples, as well as a few odds and
ends of other language samples for demo purposes.

That does look cool. Thanks for sharing.

This msi (it's a nice hack using an msi like a database) can be replaced with a new
version only loosing my own snippets.
It would be good to have a "download updated version" button and a separate msi for
personal code.

But mainly it is required an effort in collecting the code and update the db.

For that someone would have to take on the
job of polling scripters to decide on the preferred
methods, and filling the database. I guess we'll
have to wait for "someone" to volunteer.
