Like already mentioned early on today's meeting I would be really
interested in using Mozilla Marketplace for my Thunderbird
extensions. to be honest when I heard of Marketplace first I thought
this would be a monetization (and promoting) platform for _all_
Mozilla extensions, and maybe a good opportunity to break into new
markets. When I looked at Marketplace first it felt much more like
something that is specialized in mobile apps only, so I am not too
sure whether it is relevant. <br>
<br>
One of the major deterrents for commercializing extensions is the
high maintenance of user registration processes, so I was hoping
that Marketplace might offer a solution for this in the future. Do
create something like this "from scratch" is out of scope for most
Tb extension developers (as the market is much smaller than that of
browser users)<br>
<br>
Also is there a minimum number of users which is necessary for being
hosted on the Marketplace?<br>
<br>
It would be great if we could discuss this on the Thunderbird
Summit!<br>
<br>
