The Addon converter Addon Project

The Problem

There are many FireFox and Thunderbird addons what would work also for SeaMonkey after Conversion with the great Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey. But too few users know about this possibility, and currently too many steps are necessary to get the converted Addon

Project Description

The Plan

Create a SeaMonkey add-on for following tasks

  1. Add a “SeaMonkey Download button" to add-on page view what will transfer the add-on URL to Converter
  2. Check in “Works after conversion database“ how reliably converted add-on will work
  3. Give user a help for decision by a compatibility rating (based on list on SeaMonkey/AddonCompat, may be additional sources) for decision to

ToDos

  1. Create database showing add-ons what will word after conversion and also addons what will not work after conversion
    1. Check whether SeaMonkey/AddonCompat is suitable
  2. Test more add-ons and leave compatibility rating at SeaMonkey/AddonCompat
  3. .

Possible Sticking points

  1. Future of AMO is unknown.
  2. Will Mozilla plan only to allow installation of “signed" add-ons have impact?
  3. currently discussed database for compatibility rating (SeaMonkey/AddonCompat)
  4. only has 1 single maintainer
  5. is very vulnerable, because everybody can modify it
  6. Search Add-ons filter might make it impossible to find the Add-ons what are working perfectly with SeaMonky.
