New editors were trained live through IRC, and the training session usually took the better part of 2 hours. Even though I am pretty much the only person training new editors, it is very difficult to convey the same message and all the intricacies of add-on reviewing to every new trainee. It was all very inconsistent. That is, until now.<\/p>\n<p>After a few days&#8217; work, we now have the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/AMO:Editors\/EditorGuide\">AMO Editor Guide<\/a> on the Mozilla wiki. This guide covers all of the editor tools, testing set up, and the usual editor work, that can be summed up to two major responsibilities: reviewing add-ons and moderating flagged user comments.<\/p>\n<p>This is meant to be a comprehensive guide, so I&#8217;ve tried to put everything we do in there. Every step we take and every policy we apply should be expressed in this guide in some form. And if it isn&#8217;t there, we&#8217;ll add it. There are, however, situations where we don&#8217;t have exact rules, and editors have to apply their better judgment. You shouldn&#8217;t see this as a script editors follow to the letter or as our final word in add-on quality. Add-on authors should always feel free to reply to reviews and let us know if they disagree with them. No message will go unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>This guide should interest add-on authors, to better understand what we do and why. Also, if you&#8217;re interested in becoming an editor, this will give you a very good idea of what our day to day work involves. If you want to discuss this guide or suggest changes, I&#8217;ve opened up a topic in the <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.addons.mozilla.org\/viewtopic.php?f=21&amp;t=1237\">Add-ons Forum<\/a> for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewing add-ons is a complicated task, and we haven&#8217;t been very good at documenting the whole process.
