fligtar's questions

  • additem related
    • localized addontypes?
      • same addontypes in all locales, human strings in translation table
    • summary maxlength? 200? 500? don't remember what shaver said
      • 250 chars for now
    • developer terms of use?
      • make them agree to terms of use and policies when signing up --- good idea!
    • are we localizing admin stuff?
      • later!
    • what HTML tags should be allowed and for what fields? suggested from bug 343573: 
      <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <code> <em> <i> <strike> <ul> <li> and <strong>
      • good set to start with; we'll have to add more later
  • other
    • future of the approval queue
      • refactoring UI to have a page per add-on with more data
      • collision detection on submit
      • review comments and developer correspondence later
    • separating developer and public methods by more than just ACL? ie, another controller/model?
      • separate controllers would be good for developer and admin actions; fligtar to rename existing
    • at what point do we close bugs with "fixed in v3"
      • when fixed in remora with a test
  • ID collisions
    • start at 10,000 for new add-ons, to reserve old AMO ids
  • zip of assets from RC in ~mike on linux8
  • need to document localization process for extension data (shaver)
  • per-locale preview images?
    • no facility right now for different images per locale
    • can localize captions now, though
  • search!
    • Zend search-lucene: doesn't support UTF-8
      • UTF-8 support coming, will require php5
    • first pass: LIKE %term% queries on name, summary, description?
