Would like a better description than that... Maybe talk about what the blog will be discussing, etc.? Check http://blog.mozilla.com/planet/ for ideas.

	<li>Add-on compatibility</li>
	<li>addons.mozilla.org site news and updates</li>
	<li>New ideas for Add-ons</li>

Rey, Chris, feel free to fill in a description that is worthy.

I'd like to make sure that it self-selects into the right audience, and this is really a weblog that's developer-focused.  Maybe "The Official Mozilla Add-ons Developer Weblog"?  Feels to wordy.  "The Official Blog for Firefox Add-ons Developers"?  Something like that?

As for a description how about something like "The Mozilla Add-ons blog is for technical users and add-ons developers who are interested in what's going on with add-ons at Mozilla.  You'll find updates about releases, information about technical changes, hints, tips, the approval process and statistics about add-ons."

Sound good?

That sounds good to me.

Comment 7

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Sure.

I say we just name it "The Official Blog for Firefox Add-ons". Since AMO changes and updates will also be mentioned there, I think that title would better encompass the target of the blog.

s/Firefox/Mozilla/ but really I'm fine with whatever, I'd just like to get it up on planet.

Hey, wanted to point out that this already exists:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blog/format:rss

So all we really want to do is change the feed URL to:
http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/feed/

It's been more than 2 weeks, any ETA on when this can be done?

Again, if you could document the process webdev would be happy to help manage planet.

It only got approval last week from Asa.

Simple feed URL change -- r19936

I believe I made myself clear on this topic last time this was discussed.

And I still think it's stupid to wait 2 weeks for something that takes 10 minutes.
