Keeping Up with the Add-ons Community

With the add-ons community spread out among multiple projects and several communication platforms, it can feel difficult to stay connected and informed.

To help bridge some of these gaps, here is a quick refresher guide on our most-used communication channels and how you can use them to stay updated about the areas you care about most.

Announcements

Announcements will continue to be posted to the Add-ons Blog and cross-posted to Discourse.
