It’s been a week since we launched the new collections<\/a> feature on addons.mozilla.org<\/a>, and the response has been amazing! Above the Fold<\/a> has details on press coverage, and we’re happy to see so many bloggers and news sites creating their own collections. Reading the articles, it was very exciting to see that people really understood collections and their potential.<\/p>\n

The first week of collections blew away our goals for the launch, so I’d like to share some statistics from the last week. Add-on users have created more than 11,000 collections<\/strong>, comprising 140,000 instances of 3500 different add-ons. Of those collections, 6200 are listed publicly in the Collection Directory<\/a>, while the others are private. We’ve served over 245,000 add-on downloads from collection view pages, not including downloads served from other pages<\/a> accessed through collections.<\/p>\n

The Add-on Collector<\/a> has been very successful as well, with 46,000 downloads and about 19,000 Collectors in use. Users of the extension have created 2500 auto-publisher collections, which are collections automatically kept in sync with the add-ons that user has installed in Firefox. And hundreds of add-ons have been shared with friends through the Collector’s email sharing feature.<\/p>\n

But the most rewarding measure of success so far has been hearing people say collections have helped them discover new add-ons, which was the primary goal<\/a> of the project.<\/p>\n

Because the response to collections has been so great, we’re going to keep adding new collections-related features and improvements over the next few months. We have a number of ideas for what features to implement, but need help from the community to identify which cool new collection features are most wanted. So, if you’re interested in the future of collections, head over to the newsgroup<\/a> and let us know which of the proposed features you want to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
