Imagine a world in which HyperCard had been open sourced 20 years ago?

Well, there is an online code repository accessible through the 
Scripters Scrapbook with 69 entries in it at the moment, and my 
intention was to mirror those entries on the web, but I haven't had the 
time. Having it in the Scrapbook though is more useful as it uses a 
consistent format, is categorized by language, author, etc.

Just my 2 cents,
