Roadmap
v1.0
v1.0 was released, based in part on work done in the security audit. Further revisions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis as our efforts turn towards v2.0, which is based on a much better framework.
v2.0
addons.mozilla.org was rewritten to scale better for high-load public site.
We realize that rewriting has been a long time coming. This is why we have reevaluated our situation and have set more realistic short-term goals.
Read the v2.0 plan.
v3.0 (Remora)

Volunteering
We are always looking for volunteers to help us with AMO.
Review Add-ons
We are in need of people to review extensions and themes that get submitted to AMO. We urgently need mac OS users, while Thunderbird and Suite/Seamonkey users are also in short supply. If you are interested in being a part of this exciting project, please do the following:
- Create an AMO account.
- Send an email to umo-reviewer at mozilla.org with the subject "AMO Volunteer Step 1". The email should contain: the name you used when creating your account and the email address you used for the account. Please also mention which products you use (i.e. Firefox, SeaMonkey, Mozilla, etc) on which operating systems, and any experience you have testing or creating extensions.
Also, please join us in #addons on irc.mozilla.org to start getting a feeling for what's up!
If you sent your request over a month ago and have received no reply, please send it again - it may have been lost (our apologies).
Develop the Website
The website is constantly under development, and there are plenty of bugs in it. They're just waiting for you to come along and fix them! See for yourself ;)
The site's written in php. If you're interested in helping out, stop by #amo or #addons on irc.mozilla.org for a chat. You'll probably want to talk to morgamic.
Other ways to help
You can also help out by triaging bugs (see these notes) and by providing user support in #addons on irc.mozilla.org. Set your irc client to highlight on help! (or any channel activity if it supports that.)
