Hi Daniel,

The reviewing system should give some insight into what extension is ok. 
Unfortunately there are not many that are reviewed yet. I would suggest 
to only publish if you have some solid documentation. That's the way I 
decide to even try it. Extension without documentation are a nono anyway 
for me.
