That's why some of us have gone that route. Everything on my site is
open source and free for anyone to use/modify. As much as anything I
point people to it for examples in certain techniques (API's etc) rather
than the particular functionality (which may not quite be what they
want). There are plenty of others too: Craig Rutledge's
http://www.jcrcmds.com has boatloads of routines available, David Morris
has http://iseries-toolkit.sourceforge.net and regular contributor here,
Tom Liotta, has packed a large number of APIs for easy use at his site -
http://zap.to/tl400 My links page lists quite a few more people/places
for iSeries open source, and Googling will reveal even more. 

I've mentioned before that I'm happy to host other open source projects
on my site, if people don't have their own web space to play with, and
there are always sites like Sourceforge that will host it for you.

Are you in a position to publish it and make it more widely available?
I'm happy to put up a page(s) on my site for it.
