Finally getting around to offering up my 2c. First of all, thanks to
everyone involved in putting this up. Plugins rock, and there are some
really good ones that I use regularly. Some thoughts:
1. one of the things I liked about the list on the wiki was that I could
just use the browser's "find" box to locate keywords on the page, which
made it *really* easy to find plugins using words like "form" or
"dimensions" or any other little snippet of text (both for a new
"search" and to relocate things that I thought I remembered seeing there
in a previous scan). It would be very nice to have a text search
(against descriptions and maybe author names) in the new repository.
2. looking at the star rating system...and thinking about rating some
myself, I realized that I have no idea what the rating is based on.
Granted, that's kinda the way it is and with more ratings per item
variations in reasoning will kinda balance out, but I wonder if it would
be good to allow for comments or something? Or maybe make a separate
rating for "Docs", which are often nothing more than a working example
available to reverse-engineer. I'd give a higher rating to something
with a good doc or numerous working examples, which could be an entirely
different rank than the "I reverse-engineered the example and got it to
work, and it's awesome" rating.
3. for some reason I can't make a lick of sense out of how to use the Is
One Of... and <All> dropdowns at the top of the page. I tried some
searches with them, but the results didn't reflect what I thought I was
searched for. Is it broken? Am I?
OK, it's 1am, so maybe it's me .... ;-)
Oh, one more thing...gotta admin, I expected some AJAX magic in the repo
pages: it seemed odd to have so many page refreshes in a repo for jquery
stuff....since almost everything I do with jquery includes some AJAX
magic. Where's the obligatory lightbox?
Thx again,
- Jack
