Summary: Allow Iceweasel to find plugins through the packaging system<br>
Required skills:<br>
- Javascript<br>
- C/C++<br>
Description:<br>
When going to a web page embedding an object of an unsupported mime<br>
type, Iceweasel displays a wizard that uses a remote server to query<br>
what plugins can be used depending on OS, architecture and mime<br>
type. This project aims at adding one data source to the equation,<br>
using data from the packaging system.<br>
If time permits, the system could be extended to other types of<br>
addons.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> I really like this project. <bikeshedding>I would like it even more if this could be abstracted and made usable to other software having similar problems in Debian. Something with gnome-codec-install, or missing latex packages detection :)</div>
