<p>But it's a struggle when (as we have from the beginning fo time
IMO) we're not starting with a cohesive (and happy and active)
add-on developer base, insufficiently documented or not yet
discovered solutions, and (from my perspective) a general
reluctance of many add-on developers to dig in and contribute to
creating solutions - like Christopher and John are doing. They
have put in massive time. Hats off to them and <b><u>everyone
else</u></b> who is participating in that,.</p>

<p>Let me join that "Thank you!".</p>
<p>I think onboarding addon developers is also a great chance for
the TB project, because they might become core contributors. From
addon to WebExtension API implementation to core contribution is a
fairly natural path. People will stay depending on the experience
they have - most importantly, whether their ideas and patches are
accepted or not.<br>
