Evaluating whether to submit code
I'm trying to figure out whether some code I wrote in Powershell is worth sharing with the community of Powershell coders. It's a very simple csv template engine with no frills. It combines a simple template with data from a csv file to produce a series of expansions.
The process part of the code is only 3 lines long. It seems too simple to be worth sharing. But the technique is worth learning for anyone who would like to add a simple, no frills template engine to their own work.
I have built a rudimentary repository for this project in github. It's available in github.com/dcressey/expand-csv and it should be visible to everyone. Now what, if anything, should I do to share this code with the powershell community, and to find out if some visitors like it? I don't want to distract people who are busy, but I do want to share my work with people who would benefit.

Hello dcressey,
I think you should share it. It doesn't matter if the script/module/cmdlet is simple or extremely complex. When you was creating it you were solving some specific problem, you had a vivid use case in mind.
There is very high chance that other people will also face the same problem/use case and will benefit from your code.
Hope that helps.
