+
+The following pages contain a list of available community plugins. You can use these plugins directly or as a reference for creating your own plugins.
+
+## Plugins List
+
+The list can be filtered by keywords and/or text to find plugins which are useful to you.

+<PluginCardsList />
+
+### Submitting a new plugin
+
+The list of plugins included in the documentation is maintained in the [documentation repository](https://github.com/thin-edge/tedge-docs?tab=readme-ov-file#community-plugin-documentation).
+
+New plugins can be added by following these [instructions](https://github.com/thin-edge/tedge-docs?tab=readme-ov-file#community-plugin-documentation).
+
+## Github hosted plugins
+
+In addition, a list of [Github plugins](https://github.com/topics/thin-edge) are visible directly from Github. If your plugin is hosted on Github as a public repository, then you can make your plugin discoverable by adding the `thin-edge` tag to the repository, afterwards the plugin will appear in the list.
