In Open Source, the right thing to do is to share your draft revisions
of the code as well - like you did by attaching one to your posting,
however you could do it better by adding a licensing statement and
uploading to the wiki.  I don't think this will take you much time.
We're unlikely to make any use of this code, but someone else might find
it with a search engine and use it (directly or for inspiration).  It is
just about preserving your time investment for the benefit of the Open
Source community at large.  It is a good idea for you to make a habit to
share your code in a reusable fashion.

As to getting rid of the bugs and uploading a new revision, of course
feel free to do that as well.  Just not as a replacement to uploading
the current revision.

Of course, the above are just my suggestions.  You're the one to decide
on what to do with your code.

Thanks,

Alexander
