Very, very good idea!

The goal is to have Riak users submit code they > have used in their own apps and projects to build out a comprehensive > collection of functions such that, when a new user needs/wants to use > M/R or or Hook Functions in their app, they can browse the soon-to-be > vast number of functions that are already available and tested by > developers. > > The code will live on GitHub and there will be a sister-site with an > overview of what Riak Function Contrib is all about. When the repo and > site are up and running, code submission will be as simple as forking > the repo and sending a pull request. Using the code from the repo will > be just as easy. > > You'll notice I said "When launched..." It's not ready yet for several > reasons, one of which is because we wanted to put some code in there > at launch time.

So, if you've got MapReduce and/or Pre- and Post- > Commit functions that you are up for sharing with the community, I > want to hear from you.
