New Plugin Repository

New Plugin Repository

Hi Everyone -
One of the great aspects of jQuery is its extensibility, as evidenced
by the many excellent plugins that have been developed for it. The
jQuery team, and the Web team in particular, have been working hard
behind the scenes to put together a repository to showcase these
plugins:
http://jquery.com/plugins/
The new repository comes with a few features that are sure to help
users to find what they're looking for and determine which plugins
will best suit their needs. There's the (jQuery-based) ratings widget
to let you know how highly others value each plugin. The ratings are
viewable by all, and you can rate them yourself by simply registering
on the site with a user name and email address. You'll also have
easier access to change logs, demos, and documentation, as well as bug
reporting and feature requests.
There are still a few rough edges to be smoothed out, and the list of
plugins on the site is admittedly small so far. **We're requesting
that plugin authors post their work to the new plugin repository in
the next couple weeks**, as we'll be gradually phasing out the plugins
wiki page:

Special thanks to Mike Hostetler for the hours of work he put in to
get the repository off to a great start.

Feedback is appreciated, as always.
