A remote repository won't work because most extensions are written in C and are thus unportable. Distributors must solve this problem. (Python extensions, on the other hand, are portable; we might want to do this for those. Except Python extensions can't play around with Gecko. And the difference between Python and C ought to be invisible to the user.) But of course, at some point something must be done. IMO, whatever we end up doing should be what the gnome-panel people do with the "Add to Panel" dialog. -- Adam Hooper <adamh densi com>
