Status: RESOLVED FIXED

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The page states:

"By Firefox 1.0, Mozilla Update will have a new section for Extension/Theme
authors to login to. This new section will give them the ability to manage their
extensions and themes that're hosted on Mozilla Update themselves."

We are currently past the 1.0 release, and there is still no developer login.
This is the only thing keeping me from releasing my extensions on UMO- it is a
colossal pain in the neck to release, update, and maintain extensions via bug
reports filed through a chain of people. One extension I had listed (bugmenot)
had the wrong version posted for weeks at a time due to miscommunication, which
led to several angry e-mails a day asking me what the problem was, and in truth,
I didn't know. Long story short, I asked UMO to remove all of my extensions, and
I would re-join once a more suitable developer login mechanism was in place.

So... is the developer login coming soon? If so, then please update the page
that says it should be here by now. If not, then the text needs to be changed so
as to not confuse new people or frustrate the older ones.
