I'm really excited by this idea. I know many first-year and second-year teachers who spend so much time lesson planning. It seems like a lot of duplicate work repeatedly done by teachers that can be saved or cut down with shared lesson plans.
I've seen other sites in the past attempt to solve this problem, but using the SourceForge model. Just hosting lesson plans and providing search and ratings isn't enough, though. I think the GitHub model is so much more successful because of the feedback provided by forks, watchers, and recent activity. This implicit measurement of activity is much more interesting than a star-rating when judging a project's quality.
