Thats not the process, that is just a way to reach out for a team as apparently they've been unable to communicate with them. If you think about it it is great that you can actually use some channel to talk to people involved in a prod

Thats not how it works. To become an addon reviewer there is a process and it is not like all the reviewers are the same. Again please, don't treat volunteers who are donating their time and effort as unaccountable or as if they don&#x

There is a escalation process. I think the authors already did it and are now waiting. What I mentioned is not the escalation problem, it is a way to reach out for people when things fail. Usually from your add-on admin dashboard you can re

Did you try reaching out for the team in IRC or the mailing list?

Lots of heat in this thread... So, Addons are mostly reviewed by volunteers. Sometimes people make mistakes. The best course of action is to try to reach out for the AMO team on IRC or their mailing list. - Addons forum is at https:/&

You're kind overreacting here. Addons are reviewed by volunteers. Someone thought this violates the policies and acted. There are many ways to verify what is happening, including talking to the AMO team on IRC or other communication ch

yes!!! people don't realize that volunteers review the addons and that sometimes they make mistakes. They start acting as if Mozilla sent an internal memo to kill something when it is usually not the case.

I know this will not be a popular reply but I miss the Apple Newton dearly and wished they had the chance to ship a 3.0 version. The Newton OS 2.0 was so much better than what came before it, I think the message pad was the best personal co

Really liked that! Congratulations on your work, it is very inspiring. I am also trying to build small languages, for fun, I think the web could use more languages. One example that is quite amazing in my opinion is Pyret, I think you might

that IMO is not a valid comparison, not even remotely valid, because those two products are built with completely different stacks. Krita is native, slack is webby. Also assuming that just because it is developed by unpaid open-source volun

When I realized that life is more than just a career and started taking care of other parts of my life such as having hobbies, time to myself. My work hours became fewer than before but my happiness and productivity raised up quite a bit.

I've seen multiple implementations of different paradigms on top of SSB. Even though most of the clients are providing you with a lens that makes it look like a social network, there is so much more to it. Check the application tab at

The key point here is that they made it in a way that uses a deprecated API that will not be implemented anywhere else but in Chrome. Even Chrome own platform status page[1] says v0 is deprecated and scheduled for removal. By making their w

Maybe it is because I am not a native English speaker but I had a different understanding of the headline than some people here. I read it as "an alternative to Git, which is also open source" and not an implied argument that Git

I have one of those (from Timbuk2), the main reason I purchased it was because it was TSA Approved and yet TSA never allowed me to keep my laptop inside it, even with it open like a book, nothing else inside it, they still required me to re

a somewhat similar situation happened with a friend of mine in LAX. It is not the same because the laptop was not stolen, what happened was that he picked someone else macbook pro and the other person picked his. He only realized that upon

I also did that some years ago. I used to be a heavy newton user and then, later in early 2000, I decided to check out some other old PDAs, so I purchased a data rover and some others. Magic Cap is a very good surprise. I wish we had more s

yes and as far as I know there is work being done to make private channels a thing. So in the near future, private conversation might be able to include more than 7 people. I just have this feeling that people sometimes talk about SSB as if

For those that like HyperCard, I really recommend looking at LiveCode (www.livecode.com), it is a modern version of it that is able to generate standalone applications for MacOS X, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and the Web. They have a FOSS
