Nick, congratulations! You have a very interesting position at Mozilla. Good to have you join the team and continue Basil’s excellent work.

Gerv, let me propose one universial addon that you can use for your demo: Web of Trust, WOT, is a security addon that will keep you safe from online threats. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. We have safety ratings for 21 million websites and about 3 million downloads. Please check out http://www.mywot.com

Regards,
Esa Suurio
Web of Trust

What I’d like is a list of, say, three addons which have universal appeal that I can use to demo the system to people. Adblock is controversial, not everyone wants Flashblock or to download lots of videos, and all the addons I use (e.g. Greasemonkey) are really geeky because I’m a geek.

What has universal appeal? Last time, I used ForecastFox which worked surprisingly well.

Welcome to Mozilla

I’m sure your plate is full already but we may need to consider updating some of our documentation for developers.

Hi Nick,
We’ve had some conversations in the past on the Delicious Firefox extension mailing list. Congrats to you! This is exciting news for you and Mozilla.

Please fix the statistics of AMO.
Bug 435075 – Some add-ons have more than one GUID in the database.
Bug 470406 – Sorting of addons on rating should NOT be done on rounded avg rates.
Bug 443026 – Update review counts and ratings incrementally.
Bug 291413 – Top rated should take into account the number of ratings.
and more…

It is frustating to have developed and supporting multiple themes, with many users and many high rates, but still not appearing in the top lists as the statistics of AMO are wrong.

For all the above bugs the fix is simple, and provided with the bugs, so easy to apply.

Please fix existing bugs before creating fancy new interfaces (the ‘new’ developer toolbox is nice though).

It’s nice that AMO has adopted a new version of developer tools.
Keep up your good work!
