  • Some add-on devs seem to feel quite strongly about bug 446361 (make licensing info of add-ons available). I personally also think this is an important feature, allowing AMO to incubate new ideas by telling people which add-ons they may borrow code from, and what ideas they can build on. Should we do this? If so, should we triage this bug for one of the upcoming milestones? --wenzel
  • Fred already brought this up on the mailing list: "... the discussion we wanted to spawn among the community what they want to do about the user info pages (cf. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Remora_Meeting_Notepad#Oct_22). A lot of people don't seem comfortable that they are indexed by Google. How should we move forward with our "robots.txt" discussion?"

Also, notes we had on the review process:

  • Write bash scripts to execute common greps
  • Determine how to automate testing for execution of remote XUL in chrome context
  • Need to be able to easily diff two versions of an add-on for nominated updates (show the diff in the review entry)
  • Need a way to link to previous issues the add-on had that made it change status
  • Not able to publish an update because file is unclickable
  • Be able to claim which add-on someone is reviewing
  • Canned responses are messed up
  • Reviewer log and dev comments have messed up escaping
  • Filter doesn't work correctly
