Justin Scott has been writing about the development of new tools for addons.mozilla.org, and has now announced that those tools are ready for testing. “On the en-US Developer Tools index, you should now see an invitation to try out the new tools, which will take you to the new ‘Developer Dashboard’. Using the old index will continue using the old tools until the next update when we intend to make the tools the default and only tools.” There’s also a test site available, where you can play around with the new tools without causing changes on the live AMO site. For details about the various new tools you should read Justin’s previous posts, all of which are linked in his blog post.
