Looks awesome, what version of jQuery is required?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
openjsan.org, JQuery plugins catalog, and that's all AFAIK. (Yes, CPAN is still unique after so many years)
http://ruby-toolbox.com/ for ruby stuff
1) It should be one (and only one) location when you can find every module/plugin/library written in %language%
Hmm, should I continue?

It should work great with jQuery 1.5.1 and later. We've heard reports that it doesn't work well with jQuery 1.4.x but that is probably a bug we can fix since it doesn't rely on any new jQuery features as far as I know.
I just tried loading it with jQuery 1.4.1 and got the error: "$.type is not a function". So I replaced the $.type use with something else.
If using jQuery 1.4.x is important to you, you can download it again. I just pushed the fix to GitHub.
Does anyone know of a good online catalog where libraries like this are curated? Or are folks just bookmarking these as they find them?

The blog + podcast combo is a cool idea, I don't really to podcasts but 5by5 rekindled that interest so I might check it out.
I usually just follow or fork projects I end up using, Instapaper and/or bookmark the rest or just google when I need it.
Some projects maintain uncurated lists of packages[1] but it's easy to narrow it down. Open them all up in tabs and then eliminate. Number of followers & forks is often a good indicator of health, commits is the next page to check for signs of life. Also issues. Be your own "curator" and evaluate a few options, many libs are easy to try out.
Readme, docs and code also count of course, that's a given.

Oh, not again. 1) It should be one (and only one) location when you can find every module/plugin/library written in %language% Hmm, should I continue?
Yes, obviously what you describe you would nice. But in the meantime, a few scattered sources are better than nothing.
This is what I get for trying to be helpful...
I wonder what % of users will go through a guide like this.
This sounds like a great idea, but I (as a webapp user) would probably say "No thanks" to the guide to take a first look at a website before trying to go through a bunch of dialog boxes. I wonder what % of users will go through a guide like this.
