Update Talk:Policy

Some great stuff here, for sure, but I'm having a bit of trouble separating "goal" from "execution". F.e.: is the no-unnecessary-eval-of-remote-JS really a goal, or something that we require in service of a goal? It seems like the latter, similar to "AMO-hosted update.rdf", but the goal that those are in service of isn't well-articulated.

This may well be obvious to everyone but me, but I think it would help a lot to collect the goal-level statements somewhere for people to discuss distinct from the implementation issues.

I'm wondering if there are any plans to make restrictions to 'commercial' extensions, that is, extensions created to extend commercial products, and/or to 'community' extensions, that is, extensions created to enable easier access to community sites (forums, games, etc.). Personally, I believe both kinds of extensions are so specific in their purpose, and so un-useful to the general consumer that they don't really have a place on AMO. Additionally, they are a pain to review since they generally require account signups, and even in that case it's sometimes hard to evaluate what the additional value provided by the extension is for the game/product/forum.

I'd also like better requirements for addon reviewers, since right now there is no real clarity over what description they should fit.
