In the search meeting today, mconnor asked if we got data steward sign-off on any new telemetry we're collecting in the top sites experiment. There's a data steward sign-off checkbox on Experimenter. There isn't actually any new telemetry; the experiment just preff'ed on the engagement telemetry in mozilla-central, and that telemetry had already been signed off on by a data steward. But if the experiment had collected new telemetry, we would have needed another sign-off.

The Experiment Development Process section should mention all of that somewhere, maybe toward the end where it already talks about sign-offs. It should talk about (1) the existing engagement telemetry and how it's already been signed off on, (2) how it's necessary to get review for new telemetry landing in mozilla-central (like how the engagement telemetry was reviewed), and (3) getting sign-off for any new telemetry in the experiment itself.

Is this still a todo? I know you were working on docs recently

Flags: needinfo?(adw)

Apparently add-on experiments are deprecated, so this and some other documentation bugs I've filed are at most very low priority now or just wontfixes. It sounds like they're not outright getting rid of the infrastructure overnight, so I'm hesitant to wontfix them, but that probably makes the most sense. Given the deprecation, I'm no longer planning to work on new experiments docs or changes to existing docs anyway, and we can always reopen them later if things change again.
