As you know some extensions does not work with the newest version of gnome (3.8+) and there is no official way to know when the extension developer/maintainer will update her/his app; I should crawl the extensions page (http://www.extensions.gnome.org) (near 10 pages for 3.8) daily/weekly for updated extensions and also new ones.
Is there any feed for extensions.gnome.org website? or any hacky trick?

Go to https://extensions.gnome.org/ and click on the 'Installed extensions' link to see which of your installed extensions are outdated, they will be greyed out. If a new version is available there will be an 'Update' button you can click on.

That's right, I knew;

For example: I was using an extension called "A" on gnome 3.6, Now I've upgrated to 3.8 and "A" isn't available for 3.8. so I remove it. But, how can I trace the A updates automatically (specially by email) to know when the author releases the "A" for 3.8?

Example No 2: "extensions.gnome.org" lists extensions by Popularity, Name, Recent and Downloads for available apps according to your version of Gnome, right?, On monday I went to the address and check all 10 pages and install 7 extensions; 2 days next, how can I understand which old extensions are updated and available now? should I check all 10+1 pages again to find new updated ones?

Hi!Do not remove extension. Hide it https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/351/icon-hider/Then you will see update icon on your Installed extensions page once such update is available.Cheers,Bruno
