The fact that it's not clearly explained in the article also makes you look confused. I think I'm like most people in that I never use directories anymore. It's an outdated concept. There is Google and there are links in already useful resources. Like devmo, for instance. So it’s going to be a directory? Sorry to be so whiny, but that makes the project make even less sense.

When can we expect something done in regards to the timeliness of approving addons by editors. This is a real issue. Glad to see all of the time and attention to the developer survey thusfar.

As described on the wiki page, there won't be any documentation hosted on this site -- it will all be content that is already on MDC and just aggregated here. Any new documentation as part of this will be written on MDC. @Mossop that’s exactly what we are proposing.

I can't see how the response to "much of the available documentation and tutorials are spread across the Internet" is to start adding documentation to a new place on the internet.

This should be a sub-section of MDC, not a new website. Completely agree with Robert Kaiser. This should be a sub-section of MDC, not a new website.

Mon, 11 May 2009 00:26:07 +0000 http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/?p=576#comment-3859 Indeed, what is wrong with using devmo? I see the disconnect as well: first you say that fragmented docs are a problem, and then you suggest adding a new site to the mix. Is this a NIH syndrome showing itself? The time required to launch a new site would be much better invested in improving devmo. Indeed, what is wrong with using devmo?

Please do not do this. Devmo is exactly where this type of thing should be taking place, and encouraging the fragmentation of the already small group of those with the attributes necessary to generate this kind of content is detrimental.
