When publishing work, publish source code somewhere stable that won't just
vanish. And build on the latest stable release, don't build your prototype
on Pg 8.0. Don't just publish a tarball with no information about what
revision it's based on, publish a git tree or a patch series.
While academic prototype source is rarely usable directly, it can serve a
valuable role with helping to understand the changes that were made,
reproducing results, exploring further related work, etc
Include your dummy data or data generators, setup scripts, etc.
