There's two parts to the implementation: code within TW to access the
plugin library, and the actual plugin library itself, which lives at:

http://tiddlywiki.com/library/v5.1.8/index.html

What Jed has done is to implement his own plugin library to which
TiddlyWiki can connect, alongside or instead of the standard plugin
library. It's part of the plan for the plugin library: it's useful to have
a centralised library but it's also handy in some circumstances to be able
to set up additional or replacement libraries. For instance, in a school
setting, the administrator might set up a TW plugin library that contains
course materials. By dragging and dropping a single tiddler, individuals
can then connect to that library and import its resources.

A plugin is a bundle of tiddlers packed together into a single tiddler.
Plugins can be manipulated (imported, enabled, copied etc) as a unit, but
manifest themselves as their individual tiddlers appearing as shadow
tiddlers.

So plugins can be used to distribute anything: JavaScript code modules,
content, images, fonts, stylesheets, lesson plans, code snippets etc.

Best wishes
