@Departure,
Quite possibly interesting and useful for some people. However, as a general rule (in any OS) it's generally discouraged for people to just download programs miscellaneously posted on the Internet. In Linux OSs, it is strongly encouraged that people try to use software from trusted repositories over other sources whenever possible.
A better way for you to do this would be to set-up a free account on something like GitHub, upload your work there, then post links to that. People can then see and inspect the source code before downloading anything. Here are some links you may find useful for setting up and using Git:
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
http://git-scm.com/book
http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/
http://gitref.org/
If you do set-up a GitHub account, please post back with link to it after you've uploaded the programs above. Thanks.
