There are now 100,000 web apps on the web which provide a W3C web app manifest [1] and this number is growing fast. (This is already far more than the total number of "Open Web Apps" in the Marketplace.) This growth is likely to increase following the heavy focus on "Progressive Web Apps" at the 2015 Chrome Dev Summit and support for the manifest format in Chrome and Opera.
Can we find a way to add these apps to the Marketplace catalogue without requiring the developers themselves to submit them? Suggestions include:
* Short term: A one-off import based on Common Crawl data [2]
* Medium term: Crowd-source by allowing users to submit web apps based on their manifest URL via the Marketplace web app, also consider building this directly into Firefox/Firefox OS
* Long term: Partner with a search partner to continuously crawl the web looking for web manifests and/or providing a search service on that index
Note: This blocks a targeted feature for Firefox OS 2.6.
