It was great and also very productive to meet them finally in person, but the review queues suffered noticeably because of that week we lost. It also didn&#8217;t help that Firefox 4 beta 1 was released just a day or two before the Summit. Major version releases trigger an unusually large number of new submissions and updates.\u00a0 We&#8217;re catching up at the moment, but things will be slow for at least a couple of weeks.<\/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=1401\">latest             queue report<\/a> from last Friday.<\/li>\n<li>50 new nominations that week. 129 nominations in the queue awaiting             review.<\/li>\n<li>100 updates that week. 101 updates in the queue awaiting review.<\/li>\n<li>317 reviews performed by AMO Editors this month.
