Update:RequirementsV32

The goal of AMO Version 3.2 is to radically simplify the add-ons experience for end users thru better navigation, recategorization and site design.

Category Revision

The goal of the category revision is to help eliminate the confusion associated with the various "Add-On" types. These types may remain but will not be a primary distinguisher of an add-on. The type may continue to be indicated (e.g. on SRPs) but the functionality offering should be the bigger emphasis.

ID	Priority	Requirement	Assignee	Bug/Design links
CAT-1	P1	Implement new categories list		bug 396741
New Categories are: Alerts & Updates Privacy & Security Bookmarks Search Tools Download Management Social & Communication Feeds, News & Blogging Tabs Language Tools Themes & Appearance Languages & Dictionaries Toolbars Photos, Music & Videos Web Development Other I'm hoping that we can leave our "Other" but include it for now for migration purposes. It's the default category for add-ons whose categories have been eliminated.
CAT-2	P1	Reclassify all existing add-ons into new categories		bug 396742
Here is the mapping from before to after for the types: Old Type New Category Extensions Eliminated as a type per see - categories from Browse all extensions has been elevated to the top level. Themes Themes & Appearance Search Engines Search Tools Plugins Eliminated (see Note below) Dictionaries Languages & Dictionaries Here is the mapping from before to after for the extension categories: Old Category New Category RSS, News and Blogging Feeds, News & Blogging Web and Developer Tools Web Development Downloading and File Management Download Management Privacy and Security Privacy & Security Search Tools Search Tools Interface Customizations Subcategory within "Themes & Appearance" Bookmarks Bookmarks Site-specific Eliminated Language Support and Translation Language Tools Photos and Media Photos, Music & Videos Social and Sharing Social & Communication Web Data, Alerts, and Widgets Alerts & Updates for most. Web Data and Widgets need to be remapped manually Miscellaneous Eliminated (unless we have to have Other) We've opted to remove Plugins from the current AMO site for several reasons They get very little traffic They are confusing since they are not really hosted on AMO itself The don't fit the existing categorization We'd like to introduce the new multi-tier PFS system and integrate into AMO in a nicer way Desire to keep the categories list simple The default new location for add-ons not specifically remaped will be "Other". This will be the holding bin. Then, there will be some "manual reclassification" that will need to happen to move the various items there into new categories.

Search Changes

ID	Priority	Requirement	Assignee	Bug/Design links
SRCH-1	P1	Visually indicate experimental add-ons in Search Results
SRCH-2	P1	Include title, category and description as valid search terms. SRP can include individual addons (all types) as well as category names or content from the addon description (not just the addon summary).
SRCH-3	P1	Manually review top 50 searches and see if expected results are shown, otherwise, tweak to include more targeted results.

Image viewer

Replace the existing thumbnail viewer with a lightbox style viewer. Implement Image Viewer (IMG-1) bug 396743

Application segregation

ID	Priority	Requirement	Assignee	Bug/Design links
APP-1	P1	Create staging and production instances of AMO v3.1 for Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Sunbird
Doesn't appear to be required since the AMO app already has clear code and database separation Eng has suggested that the application segregation be achieved without creation of separate instances.
APP-2	P1	Remove the existing "Application Selector" from the current AMO site and demote it to a small link at the bottom of the page. Include application names as a special search result.
APP-3	P1	Preserve (as much as possible) the old URL scheme for accessing addons content since people link directly to AMO detail pages
