I'm a Perl guy too, but I wanna put in my 2 cents. ;-) I've been
following JSAN since the very beginning and love the concept, and
would love to see it grow.

Some of the biggest changes that I would make:
- Feature modules prominently.
- Categorization.
- Detailed plugin descriptions (to browse by).
- Less cryptic names (e.g. DOM.Util.0.13 -> DOM Utilities)
- Detailed guide on how to get started
- Use .zip instead of .tar.gz
- Demo pages
- Talk about modules in a practical sense (e.g. This is how you make a
div slide down) as opposed to a programmatic sense (e.g. These are the
methods that you could use to make a div slide down).

This one is the hardest:
- Some way to use the modules without needing to install/setup JSAN

Essentially, you want to make the barrier to entry as low as possible,
especially for a Javascript user (who, typically speaking, is not very
technical)

I know some places where I could shop the idea around, I'll see what I
can conjure up.
