Engagement/Developer Engagement/AddonSDK: Difference between revisions

The plan to raise awareness of the Add-on SDK is a relatively straightforward set of complimentary initiatives in support activity, blogging, other social media, developer events and direct contact with key add-ons groups. One particular focus for these activities should be that they all produce data that can be easily accessed and compared.

People ask questions about the SDK in a few different places, but the top three seem to be ( in order of frequency ):

A goal here is to strike the delicate balance of being able to ensure that user questions get answered correctly, and not dominating what would otherwise be a natural, organic discussion. This concern is more targeted at interactions on the mailing list and SOF than the forums, as the forums are generally not monitored otherwise. Currently myself, Will and Wes are doing a decent job of this, but an interesting goal to hit would be that we a) continue to identify places on the internet where the SDK is discussed, and b) we attempt a 'zero unanswered questions' policy, particularly for the forum.

A possible long-term goal might be to take the route of MDN wrt forums:

It's worth noting on that page that MDN points Addons development discussion to the AMO forums.

Weekly blog posts on add ons.mozilla.org involving SDK-related content. The intent here is to pick up on the efforts Will has already started and dramatically increase the number of posts about the SDK on the AMO blog.

   * whenever a new API lands on the SDK development branch, we should create a blog post about it, including runnable examples hosted on builder.
