The Add-on converter Add-on Project
The Problem
There are many FireFox and Thunderbird add-ons 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 add-on
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
Project Details
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
- .
Possible Sticking Points
- Future of AMO is unknown.
- Will Mozilla plan only to allow installation of “signed" add-ons have impact?
- currently discussed database for compatibility rating (SeaMonkey/AddonCompat)
- only has 1 single maintainer
- is very vulnerable, because everybody can modify it
- Search Add-ons filter might make it impossible to find the Add-ons what are working perfectly with SeaMonky.
Ideas
(Please liave your signature behind your idea)
- Try to get running Add-on Compatibility Reporter (bug 1149016 - Add-on Compatibility Reporter 2.0.5 does not work with SeaMonkey), so that collective experience can be used for add-on-compatibility ratings instead of painful editing of SeaMonkey/AddonCompat -- Rrbd (talk) 22:44, 5 May 2015 (PDT)
