robhudson

  • Been working on adding default-to-compatible to AMO for Firefox 10 release.
  • Converted AMO's search API off of Sphinx and onto Elasticsearch. Curious about whether django-haystack's new elasticsearch backend might be worth exploring as we migrate more things away from sphinx.
  • Worked on some localization stuff in AMO recently and unearthed some ancient bugs from when Fred Wenzel worked on it.
