PoshCode OpenSearch
Well, an interesting comment came up today that the new version of PoshCode.org that we’re working on should support OpenSearch and of course, me being me, I said: oh, OpenSearch is easy, gimme a minute… And three hours later, I’m going to bed. However, I did manage to add paging support so you can “browse” [...]
New PoshCode features from July 2008
So, there’s a few new features in the latest version of the PoshCode script module, and a few new features in the repository itself, including an embed feature, which I will demonstrate by embedding one here. Notice that the scripts on the site have an embed code, and it will normally embed the full height [...]
PoshCode — The PowerShell Code Repository
Well, after some extensive hacking this long weekend, I’m happy to announce the opening of the refurbished (and renamed) PowerShell Code repository at it’s new domain: PoshCode.org with a few new features and a slightly overhauled look.

RSS Feed for PowerShell Script Repository
There are two requests that I get with overwhelming regularity for the PowerShell script repository: first, that I would add some sort of “browsing” functionality, and second, that it should have an RSS feed. Well, browsing may have to wait until a future iteration of the repository, but feeds are easy, because they’re basically just [...]
Automating the PowerShell Script Repository
So, people keep talking about a better PowerShell script repository, and there’s at least 3 or 4 different people working on improvements, but for now, the one we have is working ok, and already has hundreds of scripts in it — but there hasn’t been a way to add or retrieve scripts from within PowerShell.
