> What you think about that? There are plenty of interesting ideas that could use development (e.g. topic map engine or log storage, from top of my mind), because they either have only one open source implementation or are only implemented for one platform (Java) that often is a deal breaker. Publishing yet another tiny library that is not different in any meaningful way from its competition is just pointless. (Just writing, on the other hand, is a good learning exercise. But one doesn't need to publish everything he's ever written.) And there's the thing about porting things to a different language. It rarely leads to pretty results, mainly because the author structures the code in the way that is idiomatic for the original language, not the target. Unless it's a really big library, retaining original structure is unimportant.
