Jared, Stuart, and Andy recently spent some time focusing on one of the Marketplace’s biggest hurdles for new contributors: how do I get all these moving pieces set up and talking to each other?
This post is a celebration of finishing a migration off of Wordpress for this site and on to flat files, built by Jekyll from Markdown files. I’m definitely looking forward to writing more Markdown and fewer HTML tags.
The AMO team is meeting this week to discuss road maps and strategies and among the topics is our backlog of open bugs. Since mid-2011 there has averaged around 1200 bugs open at any one time.
A few years ago we deployed a landfill for AMO - a place where people could play around with the site without affecting our production install and developers could easily get some data to import into their local development environment.
Every quarter the apps team gets together to meet people and talk about all the pieces of the projects. This quarter we’re doing a little different format which I think will turn out to be a lot more social and hopefully keep things interesting. As part of the project I put together this short video talking about Q2 for the Marketplace. Thanks to all the developers working on the Marketplace, Andy McKay for the payments videos, and Katt Taylor for helping piece it together.
