Looks pretty cool!

Yeah, it’s weird that the <developers> POM <name> value rather than <id> value 
is used — searching ?maintainers=<id> works fine.  e.g. "orrc" gives the 
expected results, but "Christopher Orr" returns multiple Christophers.


I also noticed a bunch of wiki HTML problems, some of which were already 
mentioned.  But mainly I was impressed how well the HTML display works already 
:)

For example on the android-emulator page: 
http://cloudbees-plugin-site-staging.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/android-emulator
 
<http://cloudbees-plugin-site-staging.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/android-emulator>
- The {expand} macro doesn’t work, so stuff like "View older versions" (at the 
very bottom) doesn’t work
- All Table of Contents links lead to the wiki, rather than an anchor within 
the page
- All plugin page links lead to the wiki, rather than the plugin page on this 
new site

Also, all install graphs seem to have a hardcoded minimum Y value of 10000 
installs — way above that of most plugins.

I’m not sure why there’s a prominent "Download" button, given than nobody 
should ever be downloading plugins from this site.  There should preferably be 
a link to some instructions, telling people how to install plugins.

Overall, the design is nice, but I don’t like that the plugin details appear in 
a "popup" over the page — I have to close this popup with the small "X" or back 
arrow, before I can use the search field again.
If the plugin details appeared inline below the search bar, like search results 
do, it would be a lot nicer (IMO).

What does the "Recently installed" list on the home page mean?  The home page 
is also a bit bare — for what should be a big landing page, there’s a lack of 
title or information somehow.

Anyway, very nice — the searching, sorting and categorisation works really 
well.  Overall a huge improvement!

Regards,
Chris
