After some discussions I had with Mozilla's add-ons/e10s team I've been
trying to reduce as much as possible our extension's reliance on XPCOM
through SDK's 'require("chrome")' (which is going to be deprecated one
year from now), hence the delay over my original schedule.
Nevertheless by November 7 I'm going to update:
1) issue #8567, attaching the XPI to be tested
2) issue #9387 attaching a sample HTML installation page including the
browser detection code and the relevant customizable HTML elements to
implement the installation/verification process according to
https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/download/921/extension-20150828.fodg
3) git-tails.immerda.ch committing the source code for both
I'm also going to alert AMO's editorial board to have the extension
hosted & signed before the user testing begins.
Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything else needed from me by
that date.
