Steem Curation Extension: New version available with more info for curators

set up a dedicated Steem account and periodically publish the latest bot-list in a custom_json transaction

I would suggest not to do this with a custom_json operation, but to save the list in posting_json_metadata of the profile.
Retrieving the current list is then done with one request. With a custom_json operation, you have to search through the account history.
We had planned the same approach for the new trending algorithm. The advantage is that the list is freely accessible.

Well, I was thinking of creating an account for that purpose alone, so the most recent bot list would always be the first (-1) entry in account_history. The posting_json_metadata is an interesting aproach, too. I guess the question is if I want to retain easy access to the historical record.

I think it's going to be a while before I get to that point. It definitely needs to be done, but I have a couple other things I want to accomplish first.

the first (-1) entry in account_history.

This could work if no other operations are executed on the account.
Also, it would probably be the best approach to keep historical entries.
I'm curious which approach you will choose. :-)
