== About ==
#REDIRECT [[Add-ons|Add-ons]]
UMO (Updates Mozilla Org) provides web-based services like [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org] providing a resource for finding and installing Extensions and Themes for Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as the Plugin Finder and Application Update services.


== Project Status ==
'''Note: please see [[Add-ons|Add-ons]] for up to date information.'''
There is a commit freeze for v1.0.  A full security audit is in progress.  Some features will be disabled until that is completed.  We will provide a more accurate timeline as it becomes available.
 
=== When is X going to happen? ===
Until we have a clear picture of what we have and where we are going, we won't have a timeline.  Right now the goal is to get an assessment completed by 2005-03-01 which will help drive our development efforts moving forward.
 
== Volunteering ==
We are looking for volunteers to help us with UMO.  We are in need of PHP developers and people to review extensions and themes that get submitted to UMO.  If you are interested in being a part of this exciting project, please send information such as your fullname, timezone and experience to scott at osuosl dot org.  Also, please join us in #umo on irc.mozilla.org to start getting a feeling for what's up!

In looking at the future, we need to identify what it's going to take to handle the UMO service during peak loads.  The community will not judge us on how sexy UMO is or the tools built around it.  We believe the community and pundits will be most critical of UMO if it fails to perform during peak usage.  If a new security update is released and UMO melts down, that will reflect poorly on the use of Firefox but also the Mozilla Foundation as a whole.
 
The [[Update:Infrastructure|existing infrastructure]] will not scale to handle peak loads at this time.  Peak loads will occur when new and popular extensions come out and most notably when security updates are released.  We need to build a scalable, reliable and secure infrastructure to handle the delivery of the UMO service to end users.
 
Corey Shields will be tasked with coming up with a plan for this and presenting it to the Mozilla Foundation system administrators.  The [http://osuosl.org OSL] would be willing to completely manage this service up to the application layer (including upgrades, etc) for the MoFo.
 
== Roadmap ==
=== v1.0 ===
We are only going to be doing security and performance fixes to this release.  This will tie into the [[Update:Development:v1.0|security audit]] which will identify any changes that need to happen before we turn UMO on with the v1.0 codebase.

* [[Update:Infrastructure|Deploying UMO : Infrastructure]]
 
=== v2.0 ===
The overall opinion is we should rewrite from scratch to take advantage of frameworks/tools to improve scalability and extensibility.  See the complete [[Update:Development:v2.0|v2.0 plan]].

We grab the update and plugin files as well as the database every 4 hours from the production servers.  In addition, we also update the /data/update-dev and /data/update-staging via cvs every 4 hours as well.
 
=== Anonymous CVS Access ===
* http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot 
cvs login
(password is "anonymous")
'''NOTE:''' you want to do this from your public_html directory:
cvs co -rMOZILLA_UPDATE_1_0_BRANCH -d . mozilla/webtools/update
 
=== Staging Environment ===
* https://update-staging.mozilla.org/
* /data/update-staging/
 
=== Dev Environment ===
* https://update-dev.mozilla.org:8080/
* /data/update-dev/
 
=== Sandbox Environment ===
Each developer can use a sandbox environment on chameleon.mozilla.org hosted in their public_html directory.  If you would like access to this environment talk with kveton in #umo on irc.mozilla.org.  This will allow you to do testing of patches and do custom development in your own sandbox and not affect the production development or staging environments.
 
* http://update-staging.mozilla.org/~username/
* /home/username/public_html
 
The latest dump of the UMO database is in /data/db on chameleon.  To use it just grab it and put it in your home directory and run:
 
* cp mozilla-update.sql .
* mysql -u username -p --database username < mozilla-update.sql
 
You can edit your database via phpmyadmin if you go to https://update-staging.mozilla.org/db/ using your sandbox username/password.  You will be asked to enter your password twice as the first one is an htaccess password to protect the phpmyadmin tool behind it.
 
No error messages will be displayed by default.  You can change that via .htaccess or ini_set - you must change display_errors to 1 and set error_reporting.  To do this, you can set the following in your config.php:
 
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

== Reviewers/Editors Guide ==
 
UMO leverages reviewers/editors to look over pending extensions and themes for publication on the site.  We have a large number of extensions and themes and need a good coverage of timezones, etc to make sure we get them moderated in a timely fashion.
 
=== Covering the Bases ===
Please fill in what you're able to test.

=== What to Test ===
Start by installing the extension.  Restart your application.  If it doesn't come back, then you have a problem.
 
Once you've restarted, check the Extensions Manager to see if it has any options.  If it does, test them out. 
 
Test what the extension is supposed to do.  If it adds a new tool, it may be under the Tools menu or under View -> Sidebars.
 
Use your application normally making sure there are no adverse side-effects.
 
Uninstall the extension and restart your application.  Are you still able to surf the web, check email, etc?
 
Don't forget to check to see if there's still a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Update&amp;component=Listings&amp;resolution=--- Bugzilla entry] open requesting manual help.
