It would be extremely useful to have access to an archive of source code
for common AI problems.  Such an archive could contain simple planners, 
parsers, frame-based representations, and commonly used algorithms.  This
would encourage sharing and discourage reinventing the wheel.

A second emphasis of such an archive could be as a research resource.  It
could contain implementations of published work, experimental results and
challenge problems, and domains for testing (for instance) robot agents.
I would put a version of my Tileworld domain in such an archive, if I knew
of one.


Does such a repository exist?  If not, I'm sure the AAAI would be willing
to sponsor such an effort.  Do you think it would be worthwhile, and if so
do you have any ideas for additional material it should contain?

Please share your comments.
