Any jQuery Plugin Update Manager Utility?

Question

We use jQuery very heavily on a couple of projects and along with it we have loads (sometimes close to a dozen) plugins we use (jqGrid, jPolite, jGrowl, colorbox, layout, validate, formatters, mask, to name a few).

My fear is at some point managing which of these have updates that should be updated is going to become a challange. Anyone know of a tool (or perhaps another 'plugin') that will check all found plugins and report if they are the latest version ? A helper if you will that assists in keeping your jQuery plugins updated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

So you want something like perl's CPAN, or Ruby Gems, but strictly for jQuery?

There is not such a thing to my knowledge, although it would be extremely cool and useful.

Since the plugin DB already basically exists (although I doubt how current it all is), How hard would it be to write a wrapper around it?

If you want to start a project, lemme know, we'd have to get the JQ.org folks in on it though.
