For bug 1203953 we want to rename "full review" to "promoted and/or bundled".
Did we agree on this term? I have strong feelings about it.

Hi Andreas,

What are some of your concerns about calling it “Review for Promoted Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons” and “Review for Bundled Add-ons”, depending on the situation? We still imply that it is a full review in a sense that we will alert developers that it will take approximately 10 days.
I am fine with "bundled" for unlisted add-ons.

"Promoted" on the other hand sounds too similar to "featured" which we use on some add-ons, like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
Let’s rename that review to “Review for Featured Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons” or “Review for Featured AMO Add-ons”. We do this to contrast it with “Review for Experimental AMO Add-ons”.

The name is a bit long, but it’s designed so that developers don’t feel like they’re missing out on stuff if they don’t ask for a full review.
Bram, "featured" is independent from the review process, it is just a flag for already fully reviewed listed add-ons that shows a badge on the add-on page, as you can see on the adblock-plus link above.
Right. So there are two problems that causes this terminology confusion:
* An add-on can have a yellow button, or a green button
* Any add-on that has a green button is eligible to have a green flag

The solution that I would propose is to call the “green button” option a baseline. By making it a baseline, we can avoid calling it “promoted”. By not calling it “promoted”, developers won’t confuse it with “featured”.

So instead of calling it:
* Review for Promoted Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons
* Review for Unpromoted/Experimental Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons

We call it:
* Review for Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons
* Review for Mozilla-Hosted Add-ons – Unpromoted

The logic diagram also happens to solve our “sideload” naming problem, and you can see it here:

Thoughts?

I briefly talked to Lisa about this and we agreed that we should have another meeting to discuss and explain the details.

Setting Lisa on needinfo to remind her.

Since we no longer make the distinction between sideloaded and non-sideloaded, this has become obsolete.
