I mentioned this on the Rails general mailing list, but I thought I'd
mention it here because I'm hoping for some action from the core team on
this.
At the end of David's presentation at CanadaOnRails there was some
discussion about needing a better resource for plugins than the current
wiki page. Since I had been wanting to do exactly that for a while, I
decided to get off my rear and do it. The new directory is up at
http://www.agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins, with the ability to search
for and rate plugins. I've sucked most of the plugins over from the
wiki page, and I'm working on filling out the rest of the missing
information (detailed descriptions, plugins missed by my scrape, etc.).
I will also be adding some functionality suggested on the Rails mailing
list.
However, the directory is functional enough at this point to be useful
to the Rails community, and I wanted to check with the core team on the
willingness to use it in place of the wiki page. I have made a
scrape-friendly URL that can be used by the plugin command-line script,
and I'd like to have it added to the default list of URLs that get
scraped by the plugin script (line 630 of plugin.rb). This will allow
for an easy migration of Rails users to the new directory.
Thoughts?
