Does anyone know of a good online catalog where libraries like this are curated? Or are folks just bookmarking these as they find them?

  Fork or follow on github?

  openjsan.org, JQuery plugins catalog, and that's all AFAIK. (Yes, CPAN is still unique after so many years)

    There's also EveryJS: http://www.everyjs.com/ http://www.everyjs.com/

    http://ruby-toolbox.com/ http://ruby-toolbox.com/ for ruby stuff

      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 use the watch feature on github for my personal curation of interesting plugins/projects

  The Changelog blog isn't half bad: http://thechangelog.com/ http://thechangelog.com/ 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.
