Hello,
I would like some community feedback on IMO a great need for a jQuery plugin manager. I have seen many jQuery plugin 'wrapper' modules flowing through the feeds, and I think this is something that we should address. I am certainly willing to expand on my prototype which can be found at http://drupal.org/project/plugins
Any feedback or suggestions would be great.

JQ module?
How is your project different from the JQ module http://drupal.org/project/jq??
From your screenshot, it looks like you've got some nice user interface elements in your Plugins module, however JQ looks like it's already got several modules that are dependent on it.
I haven't actually tested either of these modules, but if they're essentially doing the same thing, maybe you could combine efforts.

I have had that question a few times now :D they do sound similar, JQ is a very tiny module not offering alot. The goal for plugins is to create admin/build/modules look and feel. Also the JQ module now simply has several 'JQ wrapper' modules rather than just the generic plugin wrapper modules now, so really it has no point.
This module would allow several modules to require the same plugin(s), and not have to worry about anything else, and certainly no wrapper modules.

I found myself googling to this page when I found the need for such a solution. I'm working on a big multisite project and one of the themes is loading the JQuery fancybox plugin for some zooming and now I need to use the module on a different "site" when a specific module is loaded.
In an ideal world there would be a centralized location for JQuery plugins and there would be a function that checks if the plugin is installed (present in folder) and if not installed it will prompt the user to download it and put it in the folder.
A possible option for this module would be to load the JQuery plugin from an external site, such as google. This can be beneficial when the plugin is already in a visitor's browser cache, and this makes sense for widely used plugins such as JQuery UI or even JQuery core.
