Okay, I've finally looked over this big ol' thread to see if my question was covered or not... and it wasn't.
Back when this page was first released (and then "removed" after the DDOS atack), I had registered and added my plug-in. The good news was that I went to put my plug-in back in the repository, and found it already there! Yay! However, a question I had back then (and obviously still have now) concerns SVN (CVS... whichever), and that is: Can plug-in authors store their code in some jQuery SVN repository? Before this plug-in page existed, I stored my code for folks to download on my own server. Then I got permission to host it on riaforge.org, and that's where the most up to date versions are kept today. But, it's only tangentially related to the material that riaforge.org was created for. If there is a way to do this on the jQuery plug-in page, then it alludes me. I saw that I could upload files, but it adds a .txt extension to them. And then it's got file attachments. What's the difference between those and the part of the release form that says, "Choose the file that will be associated with this release"? Also, using SVN over at riaforge.org, I can create branches for different implementations of my code, etc. Can I do that sort of thing here? Did I miss some handout with instructions or am I blind and missing the online help? ;o) Any help would be appreciated.
