If I make a library, what's the best way to share?

If I made a library and I want to share it, can I get it on the wiki somehow?

You can add it to the Playground, and/or Google code.

http://www.arduino.cc/playground/
http://code.google.com/

I haven't added anything to the Playground, so not exactly sure how to go about that. But Google Code is fairly self-explanatory.

When you use Google Code it asks you to specify the type of source code control system used. Is there a way to share code there without having the SCS?

I'm in the same boat. I have a library I've created and want to share it.

Okay. So I added my library for the Microchip MCP9700A temperature sensor to the Playground listings.

Observations:

  • It's a little cumbersome to edit the wiki and add your material
  • You have to provide your own storage location for the files
  • It seems to work which is the main thing

If anyone is interested and doesn't want to look for temperature sensors in the Environmental section of the Playground here's a direct link to the project:
