This should (would) be relatively easy to do. Have same API key concept and mechanism as lot of others do (Google, etc...). With the added functionality of API key belonging to certain group in hierarchy of jQuery plugin developers.
So. Each and every plugin on http://plugins.jquery.com/ will be "adorned" with the "label" which is actually a group name. Eg: core, gold, silver, bronze, popular, etc. ... or some other system. Key is not public. You get it and you keep it. You need to use it when uploading plugins. jQuery team can (and will) send you a new key when quality of your plugins improves or degrades. This of course requires organization, resources and time. And (if I may remind you all) jQuery is free and open source. So adding new requirements on the core team, might be a bit problematic, I guess ;o) --DBJ On Aug 22, 7:05 am, ludovic <ludothebe...@gmail.com> wrote: > As one of precedent posts was about cookie plugin into the core, I > want to discuss about plugins and their quality warranty. > > The reason why some features are not included in the core is that you > want a lightweight library and they aren't enough frequently used, and > I totally agree with that. > > But the inclusion in the core means that it has been developped by the > jQuery team and so adds a quality warranty. > > A plugin can be developped by anybody and as I've seen, there are wery > unstable plugins and not supported.
