The jQuery Plugins site, http://plugins.jquery.com/

How it works

The plugins site is an index of GitHub repositories that contain jQuery plugins. In general, the repositories must contain a single jQuery plugin with an accompanying valid package.json in the repository root. The specification for this file is in docs/package.md.

How to list a plugin

Simply add a post-receive hook to your repository with our web hook url, http://plugins.jquery.com/_update. Warning: This is not yet functional!
