This is a new and different approach to resolve the issue of add-on safety in the sandbox and code reviews. All add-on developers should read this and give feedback. It&#8217;s been a long process to try to find the right balance of the many elements involved, and we think this is it.<\/li>\n<li>I made a proposal for the Google Summer of Code which has been <a href=\"http:\/\/xulforge.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/add-on-packaging-ideas-gsoc\/\">accepted as a project<\/a>. The idea consists in simplifying and refreshing the way add-ons are packaged and installed locally, including a completely new manifest file. In the past couple of weeks I have been blogging the spec proposal: <a href=\"http:\/\/xulforge.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/add-on-packaging-spec\/\">Part 1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/xulforge.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/add-on-packaging-spec-2\/\">Part 2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/xulforge.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/add-on-packaging-spec-3\/\">Part 3<\/a>. I&#8217;m now working on the wiki page that will be the actual <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/User:Jorge.villalobos\/AddonPackaging\">specification for the project<\/a>, that incorporates much of the feedback received so far. As the blog posts explain, this is <strong>not<\/strong> something that is intended to be included on Firefox. It&#8217;s an experiment on how we can do things differently, and hopefully (part of) it will be integrated into the product after more community feedback and polish.<\/li>\n<li>AMO is currently being migrated to a new code base, some of which is  already live  in production. If you notice any strange behavior on AMO, please  make sure to file a bug (see note below about AMO bug reporting).<\/li>\n<li>Fennec (Firefox Mobile) is quickly approaching its 1.1 release,  and    add-on authors should make sure their <a href=\"http:\/\/starkravingfinkle.org\/blog\/2010\/04\/firefox-mobile-1-1-beta-1-and-add-ons\/\">Fennec     add-ons are up to date<\/a> in compatibility. 1.1.* is now a valid  max    version string for Fennec add-ons. Remember you can change your  max    version on AMO without having to upload a new file!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/AMO:Editors\/InfoAuthors\">Useful           Information for Add-on Authors<\/a>.
