Plugins discovery for Jekyll, built with Jekyll – A proposal.

1. Fork the repository

2. Create a feature branch like my-cool-plugin

3. Add a new file in _posts with today's date and the name of your plugin as the slug (e.g. 2013-07-19-my-cool-plugin.markdown)

4. Add plugin info in YAML front-matter:

   ---
   layout: plugin
   title: My-Cool-Plugin
   description: I make jekyll cooler, yo.
   author: mygithubusername
   git: git://github.com/clone/url/for/my/project.git
   repository: https://github.com/ericdfields/Jekyll-Dribbble-Set-Tag
   ---

5. Save and submit a PR to this repo

Your plugin will be added to the site once your pull-request has been merged.

In an effort to make versioning and distribution as simple as possible, your Ruby-based plugin should be distributed as a gem. This project hopes to make the _plugins folder somewhat obsolete, as Jekyll will simply autoload your plugin.
