More about AMO
Public discussion about some issues is here. I filed that bug over a month ago. Nothing is happening. I am, needless to say, annoyed, because:
- There is still no consistent policy about how to review extensions. If there is one, undocumented, saying that you just need to check the little boxes on the reviewer page if the browser works, and the extension seems to work, and you can uninstall it and everything, then that’s not enough. By far.
- There is no policy on how to review comments, and way too many comments, imho, get pruned because they are critical of the extensions. There are very few extensions that have a rating below 3 stars, mostly because of this.
- There are not enough reviewers, and it’s not publically known that anyone can apply, it seems.
- On the other hand, I suspect several of the people who applied of late are applying just to approve their own extensions. There is no safeguard against that currently. The background required is also not sufficient in my eyes. Right now just about anyone can apply, and that’s wrong. We shouldn’t restrict it to just extension devs either, but these people should have a clue…
Bleh. I don’t have the solutions, I’m just annoyed right now.
