Being an add-on developer can be hard work. So many different places to look for information about releases, new features and changes to the platform. How can you be expected to keep up with all this?

Well starting next week hopefully we’ll be taking a big step in the right direction. Mozilla are launching about:addons, a newsletter dedicated to getting add-on developers all the important information they need. There will be announcements about when to check your add-ons against new releases of applications, new features added to addons.mozilla.org, plans for the future that you can get involved with and early warning of API changes.

So what are you waiting for? Go and sign up to receive the newsletter direct to your inbox. We’ll also be posting each issue to a blog but the email is more convenient in my opinion. You can of course unsubscribe any time you like. The newsletter should be out about once a month or occasionally more often if there is something important to announce.

Why not let me know if there are important kinds of news that we should be including in the newsletter.
