What do my gentle readers think would be the best way for me to share some source code? I was doing some cleaning up of my files over the weekend, focusing on things from graduate school days. I'd like to put the codes out in 'public', and if people find them worth making improvements to, I'd be happy to have those come back in. Or at least, I'd like to put them out there so that people who'd like to check my work could come pull down my source and compile and go. For the barebones later part, I could always put it up on my personal web site as a tar file. But I'm thinking that something like sourceforge would be a good idea for more general use. The codes I'm particularly thinking of are those for harmonic analysis of time series, and some lightweight statistics. It's more by way of a library than any free-standing programs.
What say you?

Thoughts and notes on science from another blogging Grumbine.
Welcome
I'll be trying what seems to be an unusual approach in blogs -- writing to be inclusive of students in middle school and jr. high*, as well as teachers and parents (whether for their own information or to help their children). To that end, comments will have to pass a stricter standard than I'd apply for an all-comers site. It shouldn't be onerous, just keep to the topic and use clean language.
I expect it to be fun for all, however, as you really can get quite far in understanding the world, even climate, by understanding this sort of fundamental. If I get too much less fundamental, let me know where I went astray.
* Ok, I concede that not many middle school students will get everything. Even a fair number of adults will find some parts hard to follow. Still, some middle school kids will have fun. And almost everyone will follow a number of posts just fine.
Please see the comment policy for details. And the link policy for details about that. The latter is more open than you might expect.

About Me
- Robert Grumbine
- In my day job I work on the oceanography, meteorology, climatology, glaciology end of my science interests, but I'm interested in everything, science or not. So I've also been on stage in a production of Comedy of Errors, run an ultramarathon, and been to Epidaurus, Greece, to see a production of Euripides' Iphigenia among the Taurians Prior to starting the current job, I was a post-doc in oceanography in the UCAR ocean modelling program, and earned my doctorate from the Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago (1989). My undergraduate degree involved Applied Math, Engineering, Astrophysics, and Glaciology. Of course I don't speak for my employer, whoever that may be.

I'm in the same position and think the best combination of simplicity, functionality, crud, and lack of obnoxious adds is Google Code: http://code.google.com
It seems like the cool kids are using github today, but thats way to much to mess with for me, especially since I'm not using git. Sourceforge was great at one point, but I really don't like the layout of the site, or how things are organized nowdays.

What's the motivation? Do you think it will lead to helpful suggestions? Is it intended more as an educational resource for the readers? Or are you feeling left out of the dramas over code availability?
While I reproduce some of the simple calculations in your posts, I'm unlikely to spend time on source code.
How about starting your own wiki?
code.google.com sounds good.
+1 Google code, especially for small open source projects.
