I've created a sample program and small document that shows step by step how to use Fantom to access the Interactive Brokers Java API to download historical stock data. It's pretty easy to see how to extend it to get data in real time as well, or even place orders in real-time.
Where would you suggest I post this for maximum visibility for people who might be interested in using Fantom?
I registered for Status302, but looking around, it appears that the actual files get uploaded to bitbucket, that is vcs.uri points to a bitbucket account? So I would have to create that as well?

No, you don't need a BitBucket account.
Status302 is a repository of pod files. If your example can be packaged into a .pod file then Status302 would be a good place to put it.
The vcs.uri is just an optional bit of pod meta data, something extra you can add to tell people where to find the source.

@lel4866 - posting your code on Github or Bitbucket is probably your best shot (assuming its open source) - thats the best way to share code.
Both services support sticking a "readme" file at the root of your repo which can be used to document and provide examples.
See draft for an example.
If you'd like people to easily download your pod - definitely post your pod to Status302.
