If I recall, a plugin repos is in the works - but it's a singular effort, done in the free time of a couple of the devs involved - I can't find the link at the moment, but it's being built.
DEMOS are actually pretty damned easy if you follow the simple format 1.11 used. I've been wanting to duplicate all the old 1.11 demos into 1.2 code and a couple others, but it's always a matter of time - client work versus demos, and the demos are going to lose out (for now). I plan on contributing, but it's a work in progress...
