For starters, i don't know if i have write access to the jquery svn repository to checkin my plugin. Once i know that i already have it or not, or if i am given one, then i might be more interested in tracking bugs and enhancements from the plugin page itself.
Second, the plugin site is fairly new, and as u know we faced quite a few issues using that in the first place... So, it is just a matter of time before both developers and users get confidence in the repo. Third, the main jquery page still points to the docs.jquery.com/plugins wiki instead of the plugin page. Many people are still using that. And, as Stephan says it is both a problem of education and the barrier to entry. But, these are expected from the users to get quality extensions from any open source software. Yet, it has to solved. Again, i guess i am just rambling... -GTG On 8/25/07, Karl Swedberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey folks, > > I was looking through the plugins at jquery.com/plugins/ and noticed that, > even though the project pages have bug-report and feature-request tools > built right in, hardly any of the plugins have anything entered for any of > it.
