! AMO !! Review Queue - we have insufficient resources for the listed review queue which is very long and growing. We recently hired one new FTE, but also have had to move one reviewer over to working on the validator improvements. We do have budget for a part time contract reviewer, and a candidate has been selected. Review queue challenges illustrated here: http://diox.github.io/amo-review-times/ || Lisa/Addon Review team || Additional contract reviewers being hired now for short term mitigation, longer term how we review is being changed, SLA being established, etc.

! AMO !! Validator - the validator has several issues slowing down the queue - it is not providing very useful results to developers, and it is rejecting 4/5 addons. Further, this week substantive resources normally allocated to validator development need to be shifted onto a pending AWS migration from Aug 25 to Sept 24.  || Validator team, Kev, Larissa || We have plans in development, 2 Engineers assigned to improvements, and the first phase of these is nearly complete. We may, given the AWS situation, seek additional resources.
