I hope Jeremy can answer this but just a few things; "the plugin library" is not a global thing. The official plugins are whichever Jeremy puts there. A few individuals have created their own plugin libraries - I know of Tobias, Andreas Hahn and Jed, possibly someone more. This way you can install their whole plugin library but it is pretty much dedicated to their exclusive plugins. I think the main point with a plugin library is so that the user can click "Get more plugins" to get a list of that particular library-moderators plugins.
But you don't need a plugin library to publish a plugin. As stated, you can put it anywhere. BUT there is what I call the "dispersed problem", i.e that there is no real way to ensure that the rest of the world can find your stuff. All plugins are scattered around. This is a HUGE problem. Erwans Community Search is the only real solution so far. Jeremy is attempting to keep the Community tiddler on tiddlywiki.com updated but there is of course no way one individual can do this. And the typical way to make a plugin "available" is to announce it on the boards... :-/ This is one major reason why the TWederation is very much needed. It would make aggregation and spreading of plugins simple. The first steps have been taken but it is currently a bit on a pause. <:-) On Saturday, April 23, 2016 at 4:36:32 AM UTC+2, Devin Weaver wrote: > > Sorry for the confusion.
