Any Good Open Source Code Snippet Libraries?

I’ve been looking around the last few days for an open source code snippet library to put in place at my workplace. Most of the ones I came across by doing some searching either didn’t impress me or they had not been supported or updated in quite a few years. Does anyone know of or use one of these snippet libraries? In short, I am just looking for something that you can paste some code into and either categorize or tag by language, etc… Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    You can save snippets in Dreamweaver and create a library and folders to categorize them

    If you’re using Eclipse and the CF Eclipse plugin, you can use the Snippets view. It has an add on called Snipex, which is a CF based Snippets server. There are several publicly available Snipex Servers, see http://cfsnippets.org/index.cfm?event=user.snipExServers

    For other platforms (i.e., Dreamweaver or Homesite) why not just put the snippets on a network shared drive and point the apps to that.

    We are looking some web based for a couple of reasons. The first of which is we use many different programming languages and IDE’s for many of them. For instance when writing ColdFusion code I’m in Eclipse, for .NET I’m in Visual Studio, etc… So I think having something web based will make it easy for everyone to use.

    I am close to actually setting up a WordPress blog as the snippet library. It already has multiple authors, categories, tags, searching and code coloring (with a plugin).
