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
- 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 addons 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.
