My Add-Ons List Builder

This proposal is for a new feature for the AMO site that allows individuals to manage and public custom lists of add-ons.

Benefits

  • Allows users to easily view a list of add-ons as a group (and optionally install them)
  • Allows publishers to easily assemble and manage custom lists
  • Encourages more thematic add-ons lists to be created (not just AMO's fixed categories)
  • Drives more traffic to AMO
  • Start to add community oriented features into AMO

Features

  • Each AMO user would be allowed to create up to N custom list of add-ons.
  • Actions for AMO user:
    • Create List
    • Modify List
    • Delete List
    • Publish List
  • A list is presented in the form similar to category listings pages but also includes a field for user's comments
  • Can include links to non-AMO hosted add-ons
  • For AMO hosted add-ons allows you to "check or uncheck" to allow group installation
  • Automatically package up the checked add-ons and create an "install bundle" (like what FEBE does)
  • If it detects that you are not using Firefox, then it asks you to install it
  • Only allows checking of add-ons that are compatible with your version of Firefox
