This project have a two party - server and client.

Server provides place for various extras and catalog of those extras
in two formats - HTML for humans and JSON for Stellarium's client.

Client have a download manager and parser for JSON catalog's of
extras, who can download e.g. stars catalog, check checksum and
install it. Also Stellarium's add-ons manager's display info about
each extras (name, description, author, license, version of extras and
assigned for version Stellarium) and his status.

Add-on manager presumably work like extensions manager in Firefox/Chrome.
