The Plan
Create a SeaMonkey add-on for following tasks
- Add a “SeaMonkey Download button" to add-on page view what will transfer the add-on URL to Converter
- Check in “Works after conversion database“ how reliably converted add-on will work
- Give user a help for decision by a compatibility rating (based on list on SeaMonkey/AddonCompat, may be additional sources) for decision to
ToDos
- Create database showing add-ons what will word after conversion and also add-ons what will not work after conversion
- Check whether SeaMonkey/AddonCompat is suitable
- Test more add-ons and leave compatibility rating at SeaMonkey/AddonCompat
- .
