TechNet Script Center

Received an email today about Microsoft Script Center, and the evolution of what used to be called the 'Community-Submitted scripts'. The new TechNet Script Center allows you to upload scripts directly under your profile (Windows Live/Passport), draft and publish scripts (not unlike this blog), get ratings, and host a discussion board for each script.

In the bad old days, believe it or not, the method to submit scripts was to email them with the script in the body of the email to a Microsoft address. While it seemed low-tech, they were actually extremely reliable and pretty quick turning submissions around.

Like it a lot as a way to share some generic code snippets/modules, things that don't justify setting up a whole project with source control such as CodePlex.

Be sure to keep an eye on my TechNet Script Center Contributions. I'm posting a few that have been useful historically.
