I have a little book of things I want to open-source before I die. Some of it is my own stuff that I can't release yet for competitive reasons, others is stuff I want to make money and buy the rights so I can give it away.
It's easy to think of a will and death as something far off and mostly about finances and money, especially for people our age. But who knows how many fast-inverse-square-roots are hidden in the bowels of legacy systems that will never see the light of day? That keeps me up at night.

Things that may not be worthy of (say) SourceForge? Things that may only interest a handful of people every year? Someplace where they will get cataloged by Google so every few months a single geek can be pleasantly surprised to find somebody else solved part of his problem, and is willing to share?
