Hi all,

Just to pitch in on the R part, since that is my domain.
Specifically for R a lot of code is shared through packages, either through
CRAN, Bioconductor or sometimes githubs.
Obviously, some people still keep code for themselves, but specifically R
is doing a pretty good job at making code sharing easy.

One initiative that I am aware of is:
http://software-carpentry.org/index.html

Kind regards,

Willem
