The first site is FishBox and is populated with code by a group of conservation biologists who develop state-space models and PVA models. You are welcome and encouraged to peruse this site and use the code therein FishBox. If you want to upload your own code to a Greenbox site, you can do that at EcologyBox.
Sculpin
Sculpin is a lightweight code sharing interface for organizing and freely distributing software code. It is intended to facilitate code sharing by people who are not computer geeks. It has a simple interface to enable people to create personal pages for sharing code with just a few mouse clicks. Sculpin is in development and has not yet been released.
