We\u2019re    just getting started with these, so your feedback is greatly    appreciated.<\/li>\n<li>Most nominations are being reviewed within 3 weeks. Our goal is to    reduce this to 2 weeks before April. At this moment, only 16% of all nominations (30 out of 188) have waited longer than 2 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Almost every update is being reviewed within 5 days. We want to reduce    this even more in the future, but nominations are the current priority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Review Queues<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The stats are taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.addons.mozilla.org\/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=767&amp;sid=56f22ef89187d13be0c926a253517ae0\">latest    queue report<\/a> from last Friday.<\/li>\n<li>77 new nominations that week. 175 nominations in the queue awaiting    review.<\/li>\n<li>97 new updates that week. 107 updates in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<li>543 reviews performed by AMO Editors so far in March.  There were 21   editors performing reviews last week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2010\/02\/15\/the-add-on-review-process-and-you\/\">Add-on     Review Process and You<\/a> for information on how to check your   current  add-on status.<\/p>\n<h2>The Review Queues &#8211; 6 months ago!<\/h2>\n<p>Since I&#8217;ve been working for Mozilla for 6 months already, I thought it would be nice to give some perspective of the work I&#8217;ve been doing with the editor team and the review queues. So, here are some numbers I got from the (internal) queue reports 6 months ago:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>585 nominations in the queue awaiting    review.<\/li>\n<li>269 updates in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<li>Roughly 20 editor contributions per day, which would total about 600 per month. That&#8217;s less than half of what we do now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Notes for Developers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/AMO:Editors\/InfoAuthors\">Useful    Information for Add-on Authors<\/a>.

Add-on authors that rely on this feature will need to  find alternatives for it immediately, and editors will begin rejecting  add-ons that use any of these features very soon.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/2010\/02\/23\/private-browsing-support-required-for-add-ons\/\">Private    Browsing Mode support<\/a> will soon become a requirement for add-ons    that handle browsing data. We will probably start reviewing for PBM support on April 2nd.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019m currently working on porting the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/XUL_School\">XUL School  Tutorial   for Extension Developers<\/a> to MDC. This tutorial was  originally   developed by Glaxstar (now Appcoast) back when I worked for  them. I   wrote most of it, and now Appcoast has graciously donated the  full   tutorial contents to Mozilla. I expect to have ported all of the    material within this month. If you\u2019re interested in translating the   tutorial to another language, please contact me and I\u2019ll help you as   much as I can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Jorge Villalobos<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Add-ons Developer Relations Lead, Mozilla<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary These weekly posts explain the current state of add-on reviews and other information relevant to add-on developers.
