I think some of those will be the same for all versions of the extension. So omitting to fill in by the author (and easy link or such) would be helpful. > Does this structure sound more user friendly? Feedback? Additions? For what I realise now (trying to visualise your technical terms) I think it's good. Wonder if others with experience/knowledge of other extensions-sites see some omissions / ideas ..
