Development

• Been making lots of good progress on the site; pages live since we last talked include add-on review pages and the /recommended list.
• I outlined our goals in an email last week. Current status of those goals:
  • Review pages bugs are closed
  • Collections pages are underway. The main editing page is (almost done?) being styled and Jeff keeps rocking the other listing pages
  • User pages haven't changed, the bugs are still in 5.11.8 but most are still unclaimed
  • Stats pages haven't moved, Ian is working on making the stats CSVs faster which is blocking our launch anyway.
• If you have experience with or interest in OAUTH come talk to clouserw
• Along with the front end of the dev tools, we'll be building a RESTful API backend with django-piston
• 5.11.9

Developer Relations

• Attended Black Hat and BlogHer, both of which passed rather uneventfully. Met a few people interested in add-on development, specially in the NYC Meetup.
• Latest Add-ons Review Update got lots of attention because of the Firefox 4 compat section, and mkaply's complaint about excessive breakage.
  • I'm following PMO more closely now, to identify possible breaking changes. I already have a few new ones for the next update.
• Catching up with reviews.
