Approval, Denial and Comments

These fields/checkboxes appear for all add-ons:

• OSes - What operating systems did you test this on (Windows, Linux, OSX)
• Apps - What applications did you test this in? Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey? Also include a version number.
• Install? - Does the add-on install?
• Uninstall? - Does the add-on uninstall without trouble?
• App works? - Does the add-on remove functionality from your application? Is there anything it stops working?
• Clean profile? - If the add-on does not work, is it because of a conflict with another add-on or one of your settings? This should be ticked if the extension works.

• Comments to Author - This is the most important field of them all. Remember that your comments go to a *real person* so try to be friendly.

If you are approving the add-on, thank the author for the time and effort they have put in. Remember that they're enhancing the usefulness and the appeal of the products! Tell them which features you like the most, and mention anywhere you think they could improve.

If you are denying the add-on, be polite in pointing out any problems. Provide suggestions as to what they could do or should fix before re-submitting it and encourage them to re-submit it. It's also a good idea to tell the author what you liked about the extension/theme even though you've denied it.

If you think it is worth being translated (enough translators could be found and their is a interest for this from the users), add a hint for submitting it to BabelZilla, even if it has no local structure (no "locale" folder). The developer can ask for localization there if he/she fells not able/ has not time to do it.
