[Soc-coordination] GSOC project proposal: Package-aware Plugin Finder Service for Iceweasel

[Mike Hommey]

Mentor: Mike Hommey
Summary: Allow Iceweasel to find plugins through the packaging system
Required skills:
    - Javascript
    - C/C++
Description:
    When going to a web page embedding an object of an unsupported mime
    type, Iceweasel displays a wizard that uses a remote server to query
    what plugins can be used depending on OS, architecture and mime
    type. This project aims at adding one data source to the equation,
    using data from the packaging system.
    If time permits, the system could be extended to other types of
    addons.
