Calling all testing plugins

You might have noticed a new section on this site’s sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. for ‘testing plugins’. The idea is to feature all the testing plugins used throughout the WordPress project.

Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing./UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. of the various screens in core that use the list tables.
  
  It’s probably several weeks away from being ready to release, but when it is, I’ll put it on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
