Remora Developer Pages

Below are proposed actions for the developer pages. Because they will share the models with the public pages, it makes the most sense to combine them and have the ACL make sure they're secure.

Developer Pages

• developers
  • index()
    • "My Addons"
    • Listing of user's extensions and themes with statistics (download count, rating?)
    • Link to manage add-on (addons/manage)
    • Link to submit new add-on (addons/add)
• addons
  • These are in addition to the public actions
  • add($id=0)
    • See flowchart
    • If $id == 0, it's a new addon... else it's a new version
    • Step 1: Upload .xpi/.jar. This will determine whether it's a theme/extension
    • Step 2: ADDON-WIDE stuff: GUID, Name, Description, Homepage, Categories (fields that can will be populated from install.rdf), Add EULA/PP?
    • Step 3.5: If they indicated they want a EULA/PP, textareas here with info about what that means for end-users
    • Step 3: VERSION stuff: Version Notes, Review Notes, target apps, OSes
    • Step 4: Success
  • manage($id)

Changes from 1.0 -> Remora

The following are the existing Developer/Reviewer/Admin pages and what will happen to each with Remora:

1.0 Bugs to Fix

The following Developer Pages bugs need to be considered when writing the new developer pages. I will separate them by category later, but please feel free to add other bugs.

• Authors field in addons form unclear, SQL uses wildcard
• Auditing and reporting of admin/reviewer/developer/user actions
• Allow add-on developers limited use of HTML
• Permit developers to provide a link to a privacy policy for their extensions
• Unable to view deleted comments (as developer)
• "prerelease" flag for extensions
• Email address changes are accepted without being verified
• (Submission) The OS field in "Add New Extension" should allow multiple selections
• (Submission) install.rdf parser doesn't give good error messages
• (Approval Queue) Errors during approval process are unspecific
• (Submission) Uploading XPI must require install.rdf
• Changing password should not send an email containing the new password
• Possible improvement to lost password recovery scheme
• Submitting new version should Cancel old approval request
• Support localizable add-on descriptions
• (Submission) GUID from applications should not be allowed as extension GUID
• Addon submission errors should be more informative
