help on new widget submission process?


greetings.
i am chris corwin, and i have a plugin that i'm working on: "notification"
this is similar to a "growl" style notification, but is themeable
using the same classen as the dialogue, with support for highlight,
error, or any other custom classen you wish to send its way.
i have a bit more to do on it yet today -- messages do not yet fade
out on a schedule (they're all "sticky" right now).
also, i want to make a timer that senses mouse activity, and fades
away based on whether the user is "doing stuff" elsewhere on the page
or the mouse is heading towards/at/over the notification block.
anyway, before i get much further i wanted a headpoke at the code and output:
function xhrErrorDisplay( xhr ) {
var thisNotificationID = xhr.makerator_responseUID;
$('<div id="' + thisNotificationID + '" title="' + 'Error from ' +
xhr.response_filepath + '">

' + xhr.error_msg + '

</div>')
.appendTo('body')
.notification({
show: 'highlight'
, speed: 1500
, notificationClass: 'ui-state-error'
, position: [20,10]
, width: 520
});
}
<div class="ui-widget">
<div class="ui-state-error ui-corner-all">


<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-alert"><strong
class="ui-helper-hidden-accessible"></strong></span>
<strong>Error!</strong> The page you are
looking for appears not to exist.






</div>
</div>
corners are all by default, show uses the effects, and notification
class can be more than one class.
is this... close?
the stuff in the hidden span is sendable to the plugin:
function xhrErrorDisplay( xhr ) {
var thisNotificationID = xhr.makerator_responseUID;
$('<div id="' + thisNotificationID + '" title="' + 'Error from ' +
xhr.response_filepath + '">

' + xhr.alert_msg + '

</div>')
.appendTo('body')
.notification({
show: 'slide'
, direction: 'left'
, speed: 800
, notificationClass: 'ui-state-error'
, position: [20,10]
, width: 520
, description: 'An icon of an adorable kitten.'
});
}
<div class="ui-widget">
<div class="ui-state-error ui-corner-all">


<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-kitties"><span
class="ui-helper-hidden-accessible">An icon of an adorable
kitten.</span></span>
<strong>Kittens!</strong> God just killed
another one! Nice job!







</div>
</div>
now, assuming such a widget would be welcomed, how do i go about
submitting such a thing?
the "trac" system always just seems to show me SQL errors, rather than
actual information, so i'm a bit confused on how to "jump in" in here.
:D
any pointers, help, feedback would be most welcome.
thanks!
