About
UMO (Mozilla Update) provides web-based services like addons.mozilla.org as 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
A security audit was completed. The website is now open to developers to upload their contributions. Only major usability items will be fixed on the 1.1 branch. UMO 2.0 work will begin shortly.

Roadmap
v1.0
We are only going to be doing security and performance fixes to this release. This will tie into the security audit which will identify any changes that need to happen before we turn UMO on with the v1.0 codebase.
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 v2.0 plan.

We are looking for volunteers to help us with UMO. We are in need of PHP developers to help with redesigning the site, and people to review extensions and themes that get submitted to UMO. We especially need mac OS users, and Thunderbird users.
