- I am taking a course in reusability at a university near me. We have to do
- either a project, or a paper on reusability. I have chosen to do a project. The
- project is (in short) write something worth reusing or reuse something already
- written (we get to choose what we write). I want to write something worth reusing.
-
- My problem is I don't really know what to write. Are there any suggestions out
- there? Something that someone thinks is mildly useful and would have written it
- themselves, but never got around to it? Would Yet Another Strings Class be
- useful? I realize that the NIH and COOL class libraries have a lot of things
- in them, but is there something about either or both of those classes that
- was done "wrong"? The intent of this project is to give us a chance to get our
- hands dirty and learn about inheritance and templates and their applicability in
- reusability (say that fast 10 times).

- thanks,
