Hi all - I just created a labs page here on the wiki so we can discuss the plans for adding this to the jQuery UI website. I think this page is a very good direction and the addition of the thumbnails and descriptions is both attractive and good for SEO. I might suggest that we consider updating the current Demos & Docs page to use this treatment for the final plugins as well.

My only concern with this design is how different and disconnected it feels from the rest of the UI site - how do you get here, will we include the standard UI site header and footer, etc.? I think this is all really cool stuff so I wonder if this could be a top nav section on the site or we somehow organize the Demos & Docs page to hold both final and Labs components together (stacked, tabbed, etc.) so it's integrated and high-visibility. Just my 2 cents.
