Add-ons

Apps

• Concerns about Marketplace forum
• Apps Blog on track to be  localized in more than a dozen languages and counting. But development  can't start until PR approves (Valerie Ponell?) the creation of language-splintered  blogs. Do others have experience with this process of fragmenting blogs by language? 
• Writing a GDC recap focused on app marketing. Other than Apps email list. Are there others who might be interested in this subject?
• LINE is expected to submit v1.1 on Thursday March 27. 

BD

• IARC Ratings
  • Working with Michael and missing partner content
• Jongla
  • New OTT messaging app presently in review queue
