| == The Add-on converter Add-on Project == | | == The Add-on converter Add-on Project == |
| | | The problem has been solved by the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/amo-browsing-for-seamonkey/ AMO-Browsing-for-SeaMonkey] Add-on. |
| === The Problem ===
| |
| There are many FireFox and Thunderbird add-ons that would work also for SeaMonkey after Conversion with the great Add-on [http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ 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 if add-on ist not "SeaMonkey ready" and conversion is promising
| |
| # Check in “Works after conversion database“ how reliably converted add-on will work

| | |
| ==== 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 ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/AddonCompat#2.33_.28and_later.29 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.
