Sure, as long as it does the following: 1. Lets the user search the the currently submitted extensions with a search field 2. Downloads the extension file into the right place for Inkscape 3. Displays a notification that Inkscape needs to be restarted.
Optional nice extras: 4. Shows user currently installed extensions 5. Lets the user uninstall them in the same way you'd uninstall an app from an app store
My worry is any extra program downloaded will wind up being just another thing to install. I don't want this to turn into a "30 things to do after you Install Inkscape" list item. :)
Anything that makes it easier to install/manage extensions would be a step in the right direction though.

Eventually I'd like to see something similar to the app-store-like extension manager in Atom Editor, where the community writes and rates eachothers extensions, and everything is viewable and searchable in the application (with internet connection, of course).
If you think about where I've positioned the website with resources, you can see the web service side of that exact kind of thing.
We don't have the installer, or the service part, but maybe we just need to knock up something in python instead of C++ as a seperate app. Would that work ok since inkscape needs to be restarted anyway?
