What I would like is that the developer links on the TB extensions page would not constantly link back to Firefox pages. Unfortunately the Firefox extensions are way to prominent within the TB area, which is kind of unfair as there are way more Firefox users... Are the Firefox extensions downloaded on the FX pages also counted for the TB count or are these separate counts? Also, on the statistics pages for TB extensions there are (by default) FX events - no TB events? I mean to see the TB beta release dates (and how they correlate with downloads) would be really nice. Another thing with the statistics is they do not remember the graphs if you change the period of time (e.g. when comparing versions). just a few notes, Axel > Hello, > > I have published two add-ons for Thunderbird.

I recently asked hijax about this (there is an open bug actually[1]) but the answer seems to be "it's still up in the air". By the way, will AMO recognize a mozdev project takeover/adoption if the extension is a mozdev project but also hosted on AMO? It would be silly if two different people took over an extension, one on AMO and another one on mozdev.

I have contacted mozilla.org (AMO) about the adoption of the Zombiekey - the process seems to be lightly less structured than the one on Mozdev. When you go to the Mozilla.org development pages there seems to be a bigger thrust towards supporting the Mozilla code and developing new extensions, which leads to a cluttering of the Extensions Eco-System. Confusing to new Mozilla users. I understand that I have to go through 2 independent processes to adopt the extension, which is fine with me as well. Harmonizing the takeover process it with a common interface on the Developers toolbox and / or the mozdev pages would certainly be a time saver and might entice more people to take over abandoned projects. Also it would be good if there was "temporary takeover" or "foster parent" process based on the author not being contactable over a long period of time, so that at least support of the extensions could continue. Something like a whole year without updates and the author not being contactable over more than one Month would be one possible suggestion. thanks, Axel -- ================================== Axel Grude Senior Software Developer GenBase Solutions Ltd Registered in Ireland, No. 317957 Registered address: Parkmore Business Park West, Galway. www.genbase.ie phone: 091 746 965 ================================== sig: try *firefox*. it supports www standards better! disclaimer: personal opinion, not my employer's -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We did this primarily by providing hosting and tools to developers. Recently the Mozdev board members have come to the conclusion though that the needs of the community have changed and project hosting is no longer a problem for developers. A number of free sites (github, Google Code...) do a great job with this and the Mozilla Add-ons site has evolved to become the hub for extension developers. In light of this, the Mozdev board is seriously considering dismantling the non-profit Mozdev Community Organization that runs the site. The overhead of running a legal organization is no longer justified and is distracting attention away from the site itself. We want the site to continue to serve the needs of the community and think that handing things to a new group of people who are passionate about Mozdev is the best way to make this happen. We need you! First, this does not mean that Mozdev is shutting down. We are looking into creating a community council to replace the board of directors and welcome you to join that group and help shape Mozdev's future. Once again, we'd like to stress that the goal here is not to shut down the site. We feel it still contains enormous value to our users.

I have two logins for my QuickFolders forum at http://quickfolders.mozdev.org/ but both do not work for confirming membership applications like the one at the bottom. There is no point in sending these to me if I can not approve them! Can you provide instructions on what to do on the site - do I have to delete cookies, or use a different browserm or do I need a third login? It seems the mail admin site always only asks for a password (and then lets me in) and never for a user name? I remember recently I set a separate username password on a page similar to this one: no user name? I always have cookies enabled, but in the case of this page I think they go horribly wrong! If I am clicking on the QF admin interface I do never see any applications for accounts! Only bounced emails.

The source hosting service could be migrated to other hosting service provider. 2. The community support for the addons project owners could be moved to and enhanced at https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/developers, i.e. projects list and statics information should be availalbe at there. 3. Move the bugzilla support to AMO, to let the user possible to submit bug report while making comments about an addon. 4. Move the drupal support to AMO, so a project owner could setup a site to provide support to their users. 5. I hope the above reorganization could happend smoothly (i.e. keep the current user/password, domain name etc.), so project owners could easily adapte to the changes. So, in a summary, I suggest to merge the mozdev and AMO, except remove the source hosting service.

Message-ID: Hi there fellow extension authors! Phil Chee here. Some of you may know me as the project owner of the Flashblock, Console?, and xSidebar extensions. Others may know that I am also an active SeaMonkey developer. For the last few years I have also been running an extension porting service to port Firefox and Thunderbird extensions to SeaMonkey 1.x and lately to the imminent SeaMonkey 2.0. To date I've ported over 100 extensions to SeaMonkey. When SeaMonkey 2.0 is released this Tuesday, making your extensions compatible with SeaMonkey will be dead easy. We now use the same extension manager as Firefox 3.5.4. which means getting your Firefox or Thunderbird extension working in SeaMonkey could be as easy as 1-2-3: 1. Adding a compatibility section to your install.rdf. 2. In your chrome.manifest, overlay chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul. 3. Adjust a few item IDs in your overlay that are different with Firefox's browser.xul. See for the details. Thunderbird extensions are even easier since almost all our chrome URLs are identical. In fact almost all the Thunderbird extension articles on https://developer.mozilla.org will apply to the MailNews component in SeaMonkey including techniques such as creating custom columns . We use the same toolkit version (1.9.1.4) as Firefox, so all (or almost all) the toolkit APIs that you have come to know and love are available to you including the download manager APIs (although our front end UI is decidedly different), Places History (but not Places Bookmarks as we are still using the Firefox 2.0 bookmarks API) and of course our own version of FUEL which we call SMILE () On the front end we now support the same customizable toolbars as Firefox and Thunderbird do. In fact some of the improvements I made when implementing customizable toolbars in SeaMonkey have been (or are in the process of being) back-ported to Firefox and Thunderbird so we are actually slightly leading the pack here. To create a toolbar button for SeaMonkey you should follow the exact same steps as in Firefox here and here . Still leary of porting your extension to SeaMonkey 2.0? Have a look at the list of extensions I and my friends have ported to SeaMonkey: 1. Firefox 2. Thunderbird If you see your extension listed here this means that I've already done all the hard work for you so you don't have any excuses left! If you don't I am usually available to answer your questions in irc://moznet/extdev where I go by the nick of 'Ratty' . I am also active in the Mozillazine extension development forum and of course I monitor the mozilla.dev.extensions and the public.mozdev.project-owners newsgroups. So what are you waiting for? SeaMonkey 2.0 is coming out next week, it's time to get cracking!

There are plenty of Mozilla projects for which add-ons are developed and hosted with MozDev that wouldn't find a home at AMO.

Is this a money issues? Most of the mozdev board has been involved with mozdev for many years -- several of us have been involved for all 9 years. If we are abandoning ship, it is a _very_ slowly sinking ship.

The Mozilla Foundation has been very generous in the past and there's certainly a possibility for future funding -- but not without a clear plan. As Brian said earlier, we don't feel that hosting is a problem in the community as it once was so the way forward is unclear. A new community council will hopefully bring some new ideas into the process of figuring out a path forward. > What are your predictions for the future for Mozdev? It could be a range of things -- the site and community could grow and thrive or it could slowly wind down as people go to other sites and tools. Personally I think the site should remain as a historical record even if people weren't actively using it any more.
