The Next Step for codeShare
codeShareAs with any new site codeShare has had it’s peaks and valleys in traffic. Anytime we make an announcement about a new feature hits go up for a few days and then back down. We have a whole lot of "test" and "hello world" posts, but not a lot of code sharing yet. In your eyes what does codeShare need functionality wise or what do we need to do promotion wise to get the traffic coming. I’ve found two competitors (listed below), if you have time feel free to contrast and compare.

The first thing I noticed and you’ll probably notice too is that both of the other sites allow visitors to see what other visitors have posted. Is this really an important "feature"? My thought is that if you are working on some code that is not yet complete you don’t want the world to see, you just want to share it with people you trust.
Along the same lines of making code available for public viewing what do you all think about tagging your code. Would that be useful? Would it be nice to see all the mach-ii or CS code out there on our server?
Anyway just looking for some feedback. Thanks for your attention.
Good Day!
