Perfect ...if it didn't demand special knowledge to work with it. And, as 
you note, anyone who wants to add things needs to become a "member" to the 
repository. And would plugin makers even *want *to host their plugins 
there, in someone elses repository? (Would you?)

IMO it makes a big difference to have access to the list from within your 
wiki, even if the list contains external links.

IMO the problem with such individual project is that they are just that, 
individual projects, even if there were volunteers willing to help. (Has 
anyone volunteered?) And it still means one has to be a "member" to add to 
it.

The problem with Tiddlymap, or an Unofficial library, is that if something

Yeah, huge problem. Without official and prominent endorsement it is very 
tough to persistently communicate anything to the community. It is/was the 
same problem for Erwans Community Search 
<http://erwanm.github.io/tw-community-search/> which even aggregates new 
plugins and updates semi-automatically! If nobody hears about it, things 
die.

But this is also why my suggestion has a practice to announce the updates 
in one perennial thread. It only takes one message in a thread for it to be 
brought to attention again.

Good point! @moderators - ?
