 = Introduction =
-AMO leverages volunteer reviewers/editors to look over pending and nominated add-ons for publication on the site. With the launch of [[Update:Remora|Remora]] and the sandbox, aspects of this role have changed significantly.
+AMO Editors is a Mozilla community dedicated to guard the security and reliability of add-ons listed on [http://addons.mozilla.org AMO].
+As part of the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/policies/reviews add-on review process], editors review the code and functionality of new add-ons and add-on updates, and decide if they're appropriate for publication or not. Editors follow and enforce the established [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/policies/ AMO Policies].
-== What's a reviewer? ==
+= Who are we? =
-In version 2 of addons.mozilla.org, the term "reviewer" referred to a person that had access to an approval queue of extensions and themes that were submitted. Reviewers would install the add-on and test it to ensure that it worked properly, and would then either approve the version or deny it.
+The AMO Editor group is mostly composed of volunteer add-on developers who are interested in improving and maintaining the quality of add-ons listed on AMO. You can contact us at [mailto:amo-editors@mozilla.org amo-editors@mozilla.org].
+The AMO Editor group is currently lead by Jorge Villalobos, Add-ons Developer Relations Lead at Mozilla. You can contact him at [mailto:jorge@mozilla.com jorge@mozilla.com]
-In Remora (version 3), anyone is considered a reviewer. Users can install add-ons as soon as the author submits them. We hope that these users will then return to write a review of their experience with the add-on, whether it be good or bad.

-== What's an editor? ==
-Editors have access to the queue of pending and nominated add-ons, and their main role is to assess the existing reviews and determine whether the add-on should be pushed to the public side based on criteria in the [http://addons.mozilla.org/pages/policy policy].
