Could this not be fixed with some sort of version control program? CVS, SVN, etc?
I know sourceforge is out, but anyone with web space can throw up an SVN or CVS repository. Come to think of it, I'm surprised doom9 hasn't done this yet, considering how much software they already serve and how much development occurs in this forum.
I agree with your sentiments though, it needs to become much more structured. One way to do that is to keep the code to yourself and maintain individual control. The open source way would be to release your code into some sort of structured dev environment. If set up right, you could retain the ability to accept/reject code changes that others checked in.
