Push to Chrome Web Store

[eirslett]

This extension is an attempt to revive the old firefox plugin, but it's written for Chrome instead of Firefox.

The main problem with the browser plugin was that it was difficult for developers to install. By publishing it to Chrome Web Store, developers will have the one-click-to-install experience, rather than having to clone the repository and build the plugin from source.

In order to publish the plugin, we need a shared Google developer account. (developers@zipkin.io?) It might be enough that a few of the core Zipkin maintainers know its credentials.

I think the browser extensions will become a core part of the Zipkin experience, once they're actually easy to use!

@adriancole I think you're the one who has access to DNS etc.? Which is needed to get a zipkin.io e-mail account?

Yep Zoltan and I have access. I should be back online tomorrow and can look into it.
