This project is not maintained anymore. Some of the ideas were adopted by the official FreeCAD AddonManager (thanks to @chennes).
This project is an attempt to improve management of FreeCAD Extensions repositories. The current solution is the built-in FreeCAD Addon Manager. Eventually this project aims to replace it.
