What info in particular? 
Did you want to have a go at adding it? I'm happy to help with any problems.

Currently addons can be specifically released for the version of J and the 
platform. In other words, if an addon isn't designed to work for some 
combination of J version and platform then it *shouldn't* be listed by jpkg or 
Package Manager for that platform. Of course I'm sure there errors. If you 
become aware of one let the forum and/or addon maintainer know.
