Development
- Been making lots of good progress on the site; pages live since we last talked include add-on review pages and the /recommended list.
- I outlined our goals in an email last week. Current status of those goals:
- Review pages bugs are closed
- Collections pages are underway. The main editing page is (almost done?) being styled and Jeff keeps rocking the other listing pages
- User pages haven't changed, the bugs are still in 5.11.8 but most are still unclaimed
- Stats pages haven't moved, Ian is working on making the stats CSVs faster which is blocking our launch anyway.
- If you have experience with or interest in OAUTH come talk to clouserw
- Along with the front end of the dev tools, we'll be building a RESTful API backend with django-piston
- 5.11.9
QA
Product
Developer Relations
- Attended Black Hat and BlogHer, both of which passed rather uneventfully. Met a few people interested in add-on development, specially in the NYC Meetup.
- Latest Add-ons Review Update got lots of attention because of the Firefox 4 compat section, and mkaply's complaint about excessive breakage.
- I'm following PMO more closely now, to identify possible breaking changes. I already have a few new ones for the next update.
- Catching up with reviews.
