Rich Hauck has just launched CodeTree, a new and ambitious project that, if successful, could become a gathering point for coders, artists and designers. CodeTree is a community-based depository where users upload pieces created in Flash and Processing for others to look at. If they like the work, they can download the source code and learn from it. Taking some cues from Flickr and del.icio.us, CodeTree lets registered users tag works as well as rate them.
From the about page:
CodeTree is an attempt to create a worthwhile dialogue between new media artists of different skill levels and backgrounds. The project’s objective is to offer a social network that facilitates learning and artistic expression—a place where coders can dissect, share, and expand upon one another’s code.
CodeTree is still in Beta, read the announcement blog entry for more details. To be successful, it will probably need more ways to include information about the works. The focus as it stands is on visual sketches only, for which it should do a far better job than the user-submitted section of Processing.org exhibition page. But code that solves particular problems will be more useful in the long run, whether they are simple hacks or actual libraries. It’ll be interesting to see how CodeTree develops.
Rich Hauck is a student at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at NYU. Link via REAS on the Processing.org forums.
[...] Several people (Casey Reas, Daniel Shiffman, Marius Watz) have been writing about the Code Tree project. Check it out. It’s a repository for artists that work with code, so that everyone can learn from each other. It looks like a great project, and the contributors so-far look like a competent bunch. [...]

Auch Flash- und Proce55ing-Coder dieser Welt, vereinigt Euch!
CodeTree, das vor einigen Tagen von Rich Hauck, Student der NYU, gepflanzte Betabäumchen, klingt nicht so pathetisch, sollte könnte es jedoch mit Fug und Recht.
CodeTree is a community…
