I have followed all the steps at the plugins.jquery.com repo on github to be ready to add my plugin to the new system, I have a plugin called Tweetslider in the old repository, but I am confused.
I have set up the local jquery sites using /etc/hosts to route it to my ip, and set up all the node functionality. I assumed that publishing a plugin would be done via the wp-admin of the local site, but it seems this is not the case.
The more I read, the more it seems that I simply add a jquery.json manifest file in the root of my repository, add the post-receive-hook in github to the plugins site receiving url, and post a new tag with the version number, which will then be picked up by jquery plugins site and added. If this is the case, why did I bother with the web-base-template etc and all the setting up of the local plugins db etc?
If I follow the steps above would my plugin be added or re-added provided the manifest was valid, or am I missing something?
