A link to a support website (which could e.g. hold an FAQ page for a certain plugin/heme) would be useful as well but should not be mandatory.

I already say : authorUrl != service/tool URL.ollehar wrote: Or, rather the authorUrl web page.
Sample of the reason : i hire a dev bill@homeofbill.example.org
authorUrl = homeofbill.example.org
supportUrl = gitlab issue (for example)
homeUrl = extensions.sondages.pro/homeOfBillPlugin
contactUrl = extensions.sondages.pro/about/contact.html
And about support : i'm for a separation between free/community support and professionnal support (but understand LimeSurvey GMBH is OK with only one URL)

If you sell an extension, I think support details should be absolutely mandatory.

I don't thing that's needed. It doesn't add much value and if you can link to a homepage that should be sufficient.ollehar wrote: Something else that can be interesting: Share extension details page on social media (Facebook, Twitter, ...)? (Only if it's possible without sharing visitor data automatically with those platforms.)

Use them as a check list for what might be useful for the LimeStore.
E.g. pad.asp-software.org/spec/spec.php

I see you add supportUrl (as mandatory), what other meta you add in config.xml ?
And about zip file : currently : to do the zip file, i add the directory : because it's more easy for user's to understand to move whole directory than to create a directory with same name and miove file inside.
Maybe LimeStore (and lime plugin manager) can accept :
- zipfile without directory
- zipfile with one directory
I think we can allow only zipfilename === directory.
I report the same feature for theme in some minutes.
PS : the best is to have a API to send new zip when updating/fixing a theme/template

Current mandatory fields can be viewed in the manual here: manual.limesurvey.org/LimeStore_extensio...ig.xml_specification
About ZIP file and folder, yes, I've been thinking about this. It would be good if we could accept both ZIP file with folder and without. To zip an extension today, I run
cd myext/
zip -r myext.zip *
in bash.
What do you mean with the API?

About API : a way to update zip file when an new update/version/tag is out.
