Hi, I wanted to introduce myself
as the recently appointed AEC.
( Addon Ecosystem Coordinator )

I would like to know via which
channel you prefer to communicate.
( Discord , Forum , Email , .. )

If you don't want to state your accounts
publicly I can give you my public contact
for your preferred platform.

Regarding your manifest, I'd strongly advice you
to read the format described on the Wiki page.

You appear to have multiple fields
that aren't used as they should be.

1. The <version> tag must either use
   semantic versioning or CalVer format.

   ( 1.3.5 | 2025.10.1 )

   Custom formats are not supported.

2. Your custom version format describes the
   commit date which is exactly what the
   <date> tag is intended for.

3. The <author> tag should only contain
   the name of the author, nothing else.
   -> Darek L , dprojects , ..

4. If you don't have or want to specify emails
   for the author & maintainer tags, don't
   add placeholder emails.

   ( <maintainer email="[email protected]"> )

5. The <maintainer> tag just like the author
   tag should only contain the name of the person.

6. The <description> tag does not need any reference to
   FreeCAD, it's only used within the context of FreeCAD.

   You might want to write something like:
   Carpentry workbench that aids furniture construction.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for taking the time.
