-[[Update:Home_Page|Update: Home Page]] &raquo; Developers Section of the Website
+== Getting Started ==
-The Mozilla Update Website allows addon authors to upload their own items.
+The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/ Developer Hub] at AMO has extensive documentation on add-on development. It also details the policies add-on authors should follow, and the process to submit a new add-on and nominate it for the public.
-== Welcome Page ==
+For questions, the best places to ask are the [https://forums.addons.mozilla.org/ AMO Forum] and the [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#extdev #extdev] IRC channel.
-Also known as the Developers Control Panel (or Developers CP), when you enter /developers/ you are prompted to login or create an account.
-== Main Page ==
+Please, ''only list application versions and OSes that you have tested with''.  Do not rely on the AMO Editors (reviewers) to find bugs in your add-on - it is expected that you have already done extensive testing involving a number of testers ''before'' nominating your add-on for the public.
-Once you've logged in, you're presented with a brief overview of the addons you've submitted and links to submit more.
-== User Profile ==
+=== AMO Editors and Getting Your Add-on Reviewed ===
-Each user is able to edit their own profile.  Here you specify your name, email, and personal website.  By default, your email address is not listed on the end-user website.  Administrators are also presented with the ability to manage the permissions level of the user.
-A user can be designated as an Administrator, Editor (aka Moderator) or User (aka Developer).
+The AMO Editor team is a dedicated group of volunteers in charge of reviewing all add-ons submitted to AMO. It's recommended that you read the following information from the editors team:
-If a user is marked as Trusted, then their submissions skip the approval queue.
+* [[AMO:Editors|AMO Editors]]
+* [[AMO:Editors/InfoAuthors|Useful information for Authors]]
-== User Manager ==
+== Managing an Existing Addon ==
-An administrator has a list of all users and their permissions.  From this screen mass updates are available.  There is also a link for creating a new user.
-== Listings ==
-Available to administratorys only, a list of every item can be shown.  On the sidebar are links to the Extensions List and Themes List.  This shows the name, description, and date last updated.  The name is a link to edit each item.
-== Approval Queue ==
+You can check your add-ons in the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/addons My Add-ons page]. The Edit Add-on page facilitates updating add-on properties, descriptions and screenshots. The Versions and Files section allows you to upload new add-on versions, and edit target applications and versions for existing files.
 == Comment Moderation ==
-== Application Manager ==
+Users of your add-ons can leave reviews (comments) about your add-on, along with a star rating.
-== Category Manager ==
-== Creating an Account ==
+Sometimes the reviews will be incorrect, use inappropriate language, or are nothing more than spam. You can flag reviews for moderation in the add-on review page. You can reach this page by clicking in the 'See All Reviews' link. It should take you to a page like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/display/4364. The dropdown menu next to every review allows you to flag it for moderation.
-== Uploading an Item ==
+Flagged reviews will be checked by AMO Editors and decide if they should be deleted or not.
