All bin only app is unmaintanable and will become unuseful as soon as Haiku switches to gcc4 or further evolutions. Maybe few(10%?) of the apps you saved had its sources, but these are the only ones that have a choice to stay in the future for Haiku. > There are very few sources available.

The code could be included with the package, or an osdrawer project could be opened for each of them. "Where" is not the question now, just having them in a safe place before more websites are gone, and that valueable codebase lost forever. If it cannot be in Haikuware. We need to have somewhere with as much as beos app sources avaliable, not in terms of repository thats for OsDrawer. But in terms ensure all beos apps that were opensourced are safe and can be maintained and reinserted in Haiku for the future. So if someone moreover the bin of karl's list *has the sources...
