Overview
This plugin is meant for developers, it allows to attach a thumbnail to taxonomy terms.
UI for setting the thumbnails
The thumbnail can be added on term creation or later on the term edition page.
The terms list has a column displaying the current thumbnail (so far, no specific action here).
The plugin uses the “new” media window (the one used since WP 3.5), not the old thickbox.
I made some extra efforts to enhance accessibility. I’m not an a11y expert but the UI is not only a “Add thumbnail” button. For instance, the new wp.a11y.speak() is used when available. Please give me feedback if you think it can be improved.
Works with or without JavaScript.
If JavaScript is enabled, thumbnails are set via ajax in the term edition window, no need to update the term.

Allows developers to easily extend thumb functionality for custom post types and custom taxonomies. Lots of great options, easy to work with, and good documentation. Thanks!
