Recently I volunteered to help establish a system for
providing an
extension manager\repository combination for MediaWiki.
Hello,
Have a look at
https://addons.mozilla.org/ , maybe the mozilla
foundation can help us on this ?
As for describing extension, you can have a look at mozilla developer
center for some ideas :
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bundles
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/install.rdf
Once you know how to describe an extension, you will be able to put them
in a repository and in the end write an extension manager.
For the repository, I think Firefox extensions are validated by Mozilla
each time they are updated.
cheers,
