Build Identifier: 

Is it possible to add a link to mozdev.org from the Developer Control Panel? Something like "Add-on Hosting" or "Host an add-on" underneath "Submit add-on". mozdev.org would be glad to provide similar links to AMO. We've talked about tighter integration between the two sites before (myself and sheppy, as well as others I believe), and this would be a good start.

Future integration endeavors could include an auto-submittal tool on mozdev.org for mozdev-hosted projects to automatically submit updates/new releases to AMO with a single-click.

Sorry, that should have been *shaver*, not *sheppy*

I thought only MDC is moving to Deki Wiki. Is AMO also moving to Deki Wiki? The Developer Control Panel is part of AMO, not MDC.

Oops, you are right. I totally missed the point of this bug. Ignore my comment.

That is nice, but not the intent of this bug.

I'm willing to add a link in the rewrite of the Developer Tools in Q3 if MozDev will definitely continue accepting projects going forward.

http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/blog/Mozdev-Participation-or-Bust says that's up in the air right now.

I probably didn't make comment #10 clear enough as a question -- is MozDev going to be accepting projects towards the end of Q3 when the new Developer Tools launch and going forward for the forseeable future?

We don't have an answer to that yet, but will shortly. I will comment again when we do.

Ok. WONTFIXing for now. Will reconsider if things change.
