Mozdev.org

Mozdev's project overview pages are now live and feature secure installations using InstallTrigger.

Right now we don't have the download graph or the project stats in place, but the main functionality is there:

• Project name and description
• Project tags - projects are tagged with supported applications automatically
• Links to project tools
• Project activity
• Project extensions and downloads with InstallTrigger links

We're really excited to have this type of page in place that gives a nice overview of a project and available tools as well as providing everyone a way to install extensions securely.

Reactions to our project overview mockup were very favorable, and I've made good progress this week getting the page setup and much more functional.

Here you can see our very own 'www' project's overview page:

As you can easily see, we don't have the download graphs or project stats up there yet, but the other information is all available.

Here's a screen shot of the cdn project's overview page:

In this one you can see that they have a number of extensions, and the Link Widget extension even has a release (version 1.6). This is a link directly to an InstallTrigger() call in order to install the extension securely (the links are all served from an SSL site).

Since the Link Widgets extension has a release, you can see it as the latest release on the Flock extension list:

Something Mozdev.org has lacked for awhile now has been a project overview page that shows you a nice overview of a project with links to tools for a project as well as some basic information and stats.

As part of working on secure installations for projects I needed a page that showed the available downloads for a project and I thought it would be a good time to put together a page that had a little more information on it as well.

There's a lot going on in this mockup; we have:

• Project name and description
• Project's tags
• Links to available tools
• Project activity
• Project stats (downloads, page views, hits)
• Extensions a project publishes
• Files that have been released by a project
• Secure installation of extensions

With all this information there (and potentially more in the future) we want to make sure it's not too crowded and that the information is relevant.

Let us know if you have any suggestions on how we can tweak things to make the information more usable for both people browsing for a project and for developers.
