 == Overall Project Health - YELLOW ==
-* The great news is that we've now got a dedicated developer team, developer relations and community team, all in one place (Firefox) working on Add-ons for Firefox. We're yellow because these folks are hitting the ground running, already trying to catch up for the time when we were not as well resourced.
+* While we have a dedicated developer team, developer relations and community team hitting the ground running (YAY!) - we are still hiring and on-boarding new folks to focus full-time on these projects.
-* Per discussion in the last month, there's concern around what the impact to end-users will be once add-on signing is required by Firefox. Consensus is that we're not quite ready to enforce it, and we're going to continue developer outreach and burning down the existing review queues to ensure we have as many addons as possible updated and signed. Add-on signing will move to enforcement in Firefox 43.
+* Signing went out Dec 15th (with option to turn off with configuration setting).  No unfixable bugs (patched) - but definitely more excitement than ideal.  We are looking into how it could have been smoother and adjusting accordingly.  Also evaluating user sentiment data from several sources: ex: twitter, SUMO, social media.  Currently targeting to make mandatory (no pref to turn off) in Firefox 47.
+* Review-Queues:  We are working on a dashboard for better visibility into what's happening, so we know when we are making improvements.  The goal is a Dashboard with more info than just "average review time".  For example - it's interesting when we looked at a snapshot of how long it takes to review 50% of the Nominated, Pending, and Preliminary add-ons.
+The review team has been doing fantastic work keeping the unlisted queue moving, in the New Year we are going to look at the "quick hits" to improve along with this being a primary dedicated focus area.
+Time range: 2015-11-18 to 2015-11-25

+% of all waiting add-ons reviewed in less than 80 days
-* The review team has been doing fantastic work keeping the unlisted queue moving, and we don't want to take our foot off the gas in reducing all the queues. We do need to have a better picture of what the release channel profiles looks like, and we're working with the metrics team to get a regular picture of what addons remain unsigned, and what the likely impact to users will be.
 * We're also looking at how we can deliver a developer mode without compromising the goals of signing, as well as whether we can improve the user experience when addons are disabled to help users who lose functionality with unsigned addons. The earliest we will add this is Firefox 44.
