Description

It would be nice if in the README of this repository, information was included about how nemo extensions differ from nautilus extensions, and how people can port existing nautilus extensions.

(also, if there are not large incompatibilities between the two, it might also make sense to provide a means to directly use nautilus extensions via some kind of adapter code.)

Research direction

Start with the repository README and review how Nemo and Nautilus extensions are described in the project. Document their differences and explain how existing Nautilus extensions could be ported; treat a direct adapter as an optional feasibility question. Done means the README gives newcomers a clear comparison and porting guidance.
