AMO Editors team hiring a full time editor

Sep 21 (3 days ago) Here
That’d be definitely a big help for the AMO Editors team. More
realistically, though, we just need to bring the queues back down to the
acceptable levels, which are 10 days for full nominations, 5 days for
updates and 3 days for preliminary reviews.

We’re working on some other measures to reduce waiting times, like
hiring a full time editor who joined us last week, but it is unclear at
the moment if this will be sufficient.

Now at Queue Position: 116 of 219 (Day 20)

Now at Queue Position: 116 of 219. Sun Aug 28, 2011
(Day 20).
171-116 = 55 in 5 days or 11 per day
116/11 = 10 days before review or 21 if I upload my next version…
Decision decisions…

OK as I have a big change to the add-on that I want to get to users I will be updating regardless. 🙄

Heh. This is taking so long that I am just going to “go with it” and not stress. 😉

Could an add-ons developer “Game” the preliminary review?

Just occurred to me to wonder at the implications of Bug 656122.
Could a black-hat add-on creator, if such a person actually exists, just keep creating new versions, being bumped to the back of the queue, and never actually be reviewed?

Just occurred to me to wonder at the implications of Bug 656122.

Can I add a new version while waiting for a prelim. review?

Short answer yes, but there is a bug so you go back to the end of the queue.

😦

“jorge-villalobos”Bug 656122,  already exists for this. I’ve given it a higher priority now that I see that this is bigger problem than anticipated.

Oh Dear 😐

Preliminary reviews are appropriate for experimental add-ons and provide a way to get user testing and feedback without going through the longer, more thorough review process. We aim to complete these reviews in under 3 days.
