Adding to that,

1. we can collect Ideas from participants for new addons.
2. We can also start with referring chrome extensions and converting them to web extensions.

For the second point i think it's better a greasemonkey script that is more easy to convert respect a full extension. Also the chrome extension works on firefox but firefox don't cover all the apis actually.
