Yes, that is 1000x better.  :)  Thank you.

Thanks John!  Couple of changes:

• moved the page to be under "knife plugins" in the doc tree
• added three knife plugins
• added links to this page from "knife plugins"[1] and "writing ohai plugins"[2]
• added "call out" to the Opscode Ohai Cookbook[3], which creates a configured plugin path for distributing custom Ohai plugins, and reloads them via Ohai within the context of a Chef Client run during the compile phase.
• added the note from the knife plugins page about them being considered an experimental feature.
• made it prettier :)

Hopefully it will grow from this beginning into being a useful community resource.

Here's my pathetic start to a wiki page with a list.

http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Ohai+and+Knife+Plugins+List

It's pretty much empty because I really could only find one when I searched, which is why I asked if there was a list somewhere. :)  Maybe folks will start adding their own plugins to the list.

Totally agree on a wiki page for now.

We'd love to see a page on the wiki for knife and ohai plugins until
we get the Community site listing them as well. Go ahead and start it
and I'm sure everyone will start adding additional listings and links.
