RE: Reusable module repository

We have Hawkeye, which works well, but I think I'm after a superset of 
this functionality.  Sort of a central repository for 'where used' type 
info (the Hawkeye part), plus documentation for each item, specifically 
focussed on facilitating internal reuse.

Does this appeal to anyone else?  Perhaps this could be done in 
conjunction with producing some sort of RPGDoc type tool - Aaron, I'm 
looking at you :)

If there is sufficient interest I would consider starting something on 
Sourceforge.  As long as Aaron is okay with it ... he seems to have the 
'patent' on RPGDocs :P

Hawkeye comes to mind....

Or you could "roll your own" using APIs....or since your poking around
sourceforge try to put together like minded individuals to write an open
source tool for lazy folks like me ;) 


Thanks,

Subject: Reusable module repository

Hi all,

I hope this is considered on-topic, seeing as how it is a programming 
related problem.  Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a

system to track and document modules and service programs which are 
intended to be reused internally.  I've poked around Sourceforge a bit
and 
I'm having trouble finding anything of this ilk.  I'm not even sure 
exactly what we would need to track, but the sort of thing that comes to

mind are name, description, files used, documentation for each procedure

(perhaps through some sort of Javadoc type system, but for RPG), 
references to some programs that use the module (for usage example 
purposes), etc.  Another key feature would be a good search function - I

can't reuse something if I can't find it.

Does this sort of thing exist?  Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Adam
