# [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Jetpack/Jetpack-Move-Widgets-to-top Move Add-ons to top of browser]. For a while we have talked about moving the widgets and panels the SDK provides to the top of the browser and away from the small add-on bar at the bar. The UX team agrees with this move and has given us some guidance to go ahead and make this move.

# [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Jetpack/Add-on_SDK_as_an_Addon Add-on SDK as an Add-on] We currently ship the Add-on SDK as a zip file or source code through github. This may not be the best way for us to distribute the SDK. First, we have a built-in automated update mechanism with AMO which also provides support for stable and beta distribution channels. Second, if we can get the SDK to package itself we have a chance for SDK developers to "eat their own dogfood" - testing the packaging and perfomance everyday. Finally, possibly building upon the original prototype as well as Alexandre Poirot's work of porting the SDK to an add-on we can start to offload some of the Builder's time-consuming functions to the client while also avoiding difficult dependencies for Add-on SDK users.
