Hi. I'd like if there could be a package with further extensions. For example "Workspace grid (2D) and switcher" (http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/116) looks like a very promising one, since it gives back most functionality from the workspace switcher applet, people used to know from GNOME(classic). I'm not sure whether the best solution would be a big package like cinnamon-extensions or so, which contains all non-default extensions or per extension/applet packages. Cheers, Chris.

For now I think there are many other things to do: fixes and improvements at existing packages, and probably packaging other nemo extensions (that is not installable easy and fast from control center)
Well, all these web plugin installation systems as we know it from Mozilla, GNOME and Cinnamon are security risks and should IMHO actually be disabled. They circumvent the package management system, Debian's security support, and leave it completely open to upstream which code get's into Debian and which not. It makes it even questionable whether such packages are allowed to be in main. This is why we also have xul-ext-* packages, with properly packaged extensions, e.g. for Mozilla. Cheers, Chris.
