+h1. Available Mongrel Plugins
+
+Mongrel is designed to be *very* easy to extend with the
+"GemPlugin":/gem_plugin_rdoc/index.html system.  With
+GemPlugin anyone can extend Mongrel's commands or handlers
+then distribute them as regular RubyGems for people to install.
+
+To install a plugin you typically install it like you do any other
+gem by running @gem install GEMNAME@ and replace GEMNAME with the
+name below.  All gems are managed by their authors, but most authors
+hang out in the "mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=1306
+and will answer your questions.
+
+* mongrel_cluster -- Very sweet plugin that lets you manage a
+  pack of Mongrels easily as well as dealing with Capistrano issues.
+
+h2. Getting Your Plugin Listed
+
+Just shoot a message to the "mailing list":http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=1306
+and you'll get hooked up.
+
+
+h2. Licensing
+
+Mongrel and GemPlugin are both "licensed the same as Ruby":/license.page so
+you can use it the same as Ruby.
