Add-ons/Server

This page outlines the plans with addons.mozilla.org. There are multiple pages for AMO, but this page should be considered canonical from June 23rd 2016 onwards.

Overview

This page outlines the goals and plans for AMO for the second half of 2016 onwards. AMO has been a major property at Mozilla for over 12 years and is in need of an overhaul and some improvements. The KPIs for add-ons include:

• increasing the number of add-ons developed

... and AMO can be instrumental in improving those.

Goals
