something like that is really a much larger thing - it's more of a 
tutorial-in-a-box. This is also a useful thing, of course, and something
that should be considered.

What I'm thinking is more the "small piece of code" thing - by itself 
it would be almost entirely useless, and to turn it into a full DTML
page or two would possibly diminish it's impact. 

What I'm thinking right now:

Attribute     What
Title         Duh
Author        Duh
Code          The body of the code. Rendered in <pre> tags.
Explanation   Some text discussing the code.
Keywords      Chosen from a list
