The idea of JAWSScripts.com is to have a central location to host /  
link to scripts that currently exist.  wiki.jawsscripts.com is a  
location for information about scripting, how it works and how to  
solve scripting related problems.

At the moment JAWSScripts.com provides links to scripts already  
available online.  I think it would be a great idea for the site to be  
modified (Wordpress based) so that authors can upload their own  
scripts and descriptions.  If you are interested in helping with this  
let me know.
