NOTE: [[Update:CategoryMigration|CATEGORY NAME REVISION]] HAS BEEN MOSTLY COMPLETED via {{bug|399655}}.
The types work has not been completed as it depends upon the redesign.
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.

Category Revision

NOTE: CATEGORY NAME REVISION HAS BEEN MOSTLY COMPLETED via bug 399655.
The types work has not been completed as it depends upon the redesign.

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.

Application segregation

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 Reposition the "Application Selector" to the header.
APP-3 P1 Preserve (as much as possible) the old URL scheme for accessing addons content since people link directly to AMO detail pages
APP-4 P2 Include application names as a special search result.
