Status for July 30, 2015

Overall Project Health - YELLOW

• Add-On Signing client side is ready but turning it on in Fx41 requires key unlisted add-ons get submitted and reviewed.
• Add-On Validator team now has progress on a roadmap and Engineering resources.
• Turning on signing validation in 41 depends upon getting the validator improvements done and we prefer it be done before 41 moves to Beta

Timeline & Scope

• Add-On Signing is slated to go live in 41 and to be fully enforced in 42.
• Validator improvements are ongoing and a full roadmap is in development

Exec Summary

• Signing client work and AMO side work is done, but the validator still rejects 4/5 addons, validator improvements are ongoing with two new FTE working on it and progress being closely tracked.

• Full Add-On ecosystem strategy has been developed but is not resourced and therefore is on hold.

Accomplished for Week

• Validator improvements are all done or nearly done to be live in the coming week
  • live now: changes to how validation results are displayed
  • finished this week/landing next week: editors flag warnings and can ignore
• Need: more than magopian reviewing pull requests
• Plan to establish criteria for turning signing on in 41 by Friday based on results of validator analysis

Planned for Upcoming Week

• test validation of key unlisted add-ons
• how we display errors in the validator (i.e. when there's an internal error/timeout in the validator itself)
• if internal error, devs can bypass and still submit and request admin review
• cross coordination of signing and e10s related addon issues
• progress on getting more reviewers onto the queue
