jQuery Plugin Registry launched on January 2013. It is the successor of OLD jQuery Plugins site, which was not so functional.
jQuery Plugin Registry is based on WordPress and plugins Github repositories. You can search and browse using tags to locate plugins in the new Registry. A brief description, dependencies and links to the home page, documentation, demo, issues and downloads are available for each plugin. Commenting, ratings and reviews are not yet available.
