Website to download components

In Mitch Walker's blog, he says he expects to see cool components from the community. Will Microsoft have a website to host these components? Kind of like how highend3d lets people share all the scripts and plugins people make for cg packages.

The VS code snippets feature may already fill in a good part of the needs for this. As for hosting ready-made components, we'll be looking into a solution for that as well. It would be nice to know Microsoft's plans for this though, so we're not building a redundant alternative.

We are working hard to get a community site built that will scale for the future growth of XNA-based games, both in content and community support. Such a site isn't easy to "throw together". Think of something like Sourceforge, Wikipedia, and Gamedev.net all rolled together. It's a scary task...and it's my job (so stop making me answer these forum questions so that I can get back to work on this! )

Ahhh, I could throw that together in a day or so. Let me know if you need a hand! You could stop posting non-XNA stuff on your blog and you'd have more time!

Since right now its looking like most people will be sharing source, we should use http://www.codeplex.com which does a fine job of sharing other projects. Well at least until there is an official offering. Yes I know you all want lots of visitors to your site, I do too but if everyone does it there is no central place (which is why I don't bother with forums - its much better to tell people to post here).
