Goals

Revive the addons compatibility dashboard
- Something like http://people.mozilla.com/~polvi/threedom/status-bars.html to track full list of addons sorted by usage popularity and identify current compat version. get it to update every night.
Set up tracking bugs for the top 50-60 addons to track progress on contacting, updating, and feedback about how things are going with getting compatible. ala https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=364745&hide_resolved=0
Figure out plan for scaling review queue if/when it gets flooded in Nov/Dec/Jan

Send out emails to developers and editors
Post to blog and newsgroup detailed information about what is changing and how to update
Out reach to press or on-line awareness like http://lifehacker.com/393559/firefox-3-add+on-compatibility-report
Develop communication around how and when to flip version compability number. e.g like http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2008/03/24/firefox-add-on-compatibility-plan-for-addonsmozillaorg/
