Mozilla needs your help<\/h3>\n

Since the beginning of AMO, we\u2019ve had a set of featured add-ons that are displayed prominently on the homepage and an ever-expanding list of other areas. Being featured guarantees downloads and notoriety, and many add-ons, especially start-ups, see it as crucial in order for their add-on to succeed.<\/p>\n

End users see this list as a safe place to start with add-ons and trust Mozilla to feature great add-ons that work perfectly. However the selection process until now has been a pretty objective one, handled randomly by a small number of people, and the list has not been updated as frequently as we would have hoped.<\/p>\n

We would therefore like to reach out to the Mozilla community to be part of an Advisory board to review new add-ons, and maintain a set of featured add-ons that are updated each month. We think this is a fair, and novel way to overcome some of the hurdles involved outlined above, and a chance to hand the responsibility over to the community that actually use and develop add-ons on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

The Featured add-ons advisory board<\/h3>\n

Every 6 months, a call will go out via the Add-ons Blog for volunteers to participate in choosing featured add-ons. Volunteers must commit to trying the add-ons that apply to be featured and attending a monthly conference call to discuss suitability.<\/p>\n

Each Board\u2019s term is 6 months and will be comprised of 5 community members and 2-3 members of the Mozilla Add-ons team.<\/p>\n

A note on member requirements:<\/h3>\n

Members must abstain from voting on add-ons that they have any business or personal affiliations with, as well as direct competitors of any such add-ons. Members must be picked from the add-ons community: power users, developers, and evangelists of add-ons<\/p>\n

If you would like to be considered for a position on the add-ons advisory board, please email amo-featured@mozilla.org <\/a>with your name and contact details, no later than May 19th 23:59 PDT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
