mozdev is whatever a project-owner wants it to be. If a project-owner wants it to be the "primary download entry point" for his add-on, then he tailors it to be just that. We have plenty of examples of such projects. One which springs to mind is multizilla, but there are many others. > If the review times > there discourage you, then what you should do is help that situation by > taking part in the review process I don't agree. Participating in the review process means sacrificing time towards developing addons. There is a large audience of people who want to develop in their limited free time, not review. Other alternatives to your suggestion: 1. Push for AMO to change its review process 2. Publish your addons to both AMO and another site (e.g., mozdev) 3. Ignore AMO ...and I'm sure there are some I've missed. > as it's not designed to be that) the prime entry point for users downloading > extensions/add-ons. As I wrote earlier, mozdev is most definitely the prime entry point for users downloading *some* extensions/addons. The addon author is free to use mozdev in this way, so it's unclear to me why you claim mozdev isn't "designed to be that". How is it that you decide what mozdev is designed for and what it isn't? > AMO is and will be in the foreseeable future the > prime entry point for add-on downloads for Mozilla applications, at > least for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Sunbird. Choice benefits the consumer. Monopolies do not. You may view AMO "as the prime entry point for add-on downloads for Mozilla applications", and indeed some Mozilla employees may view AMO that way, too, but not all users do.
