The information on this page, including bits like the average rating, will help users make an appropriate decision around contributing without feeling obligated to do so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2009\/05\/meet-the-dev-profile_with_contribution.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-606\" title=\"devprofile\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2009\/05\/devprofile.png\" alt=\"devprofile\" width=\"450\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2009\/05\/devprofile.png 500w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/addons\/files\/2009\/05\/devprofile-250x300.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These updates will be available to all developers, not just ones who ask for financial support.\u00a0 Developers will also have a variety of ways to present contributions, and we&#8217;ll use developer and user feedback to determine which ones remain available after the pilot- so view this as a first step in a long evolution towards the best solution.<\/p>\n<p>A big thanks to the fine folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/clearleft.com\">Clearleft<\/a> for helping us with the redesign as well to the many developers who gave us advice and feedback on this feature.\u00a0 As always, please let us know what you think in the <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla.dev.amo\/topics\">AMO Newsgroup<\/a> or by posting a comment.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in participating in our pilot, please <a href=\"http:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/viewform?formkey=clQxVmk3X1Q1MWJwRnprM0gwX1dGbEE6MA..\">sign up<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As promised, we&#8217;re showing you how things will look after we launch Contributions at the end of June.
