Please, do!

I want to split project on "vendors", files should be organized in dirs that depend only on the specific browser.. the others (the common libraries) must be placed in a "common" dir..

Everything could be built via gulp then :) (I mean the extensions that cannon be shipped directly via Debian)

What are your thoughts ?

You'd make me win a lot of time if you explained how this project is structured, and what the extension should do. Then i can code it.

Sure!

First of all, you can find all the info about this project in this file: https://github.com/LeoIannacone/goopg/blob/master/doc/project.md

In a nutshell: host/ -> the plugin which verifies, signs, gets, sends emails

app/ -> browser files - for now it's just a chrome extension. The lib file (the JS runing in gmail) is goopg-web.js .. all other files are:
app/lib/* -> external css and images
app/*js -> needed to make goopg-web communicate with host plugin in Chrome and Chromium (they are two ports: from webpage->extension_background and from extension_background->host_plugin, see https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging#native-messaging-client)
app/*json -> manifest for Chrome extension

Ok, seems doable. Thanks for the details.
