WordPress have added a Plugins Directory which will be a welcome relief to many WP users.
This is a great development from WP – one of the reasons it is so powerful as a blog platform is the large number of developers adding features to it via plugins – now we can find them!

thanks. i just checked it, but there are not many plugins I need. most of them deal with rating, polling, and the like.

At last!
It’s a relief for the users as well as plugin coders.
As someone who has built a wp plugin (something about tracking outgoing clicks) in the past, trying to submit to wp plugin directories was a pain in the neck. We have one official now, thanks for the heads-up darren!

But there’s a flaw I just noticed, I wish they just put a list of categories like before instead of tags.. it’s easier to browse plugins that way don’t you think?

Yes, this is indeed a welcome addition for the Wordpress community.
Plugins makes WP function even better, and thank God for plugins developers out there that does this for free.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been waiting for this. I’m sure the number of plugins will increase in a few days.
