The slides are available in PDF and OpenOffice format.

]]> Reviewers wanted ! Fabrice Desré http://www.open-mashups.org/archives/2008/05/07/index.html#e2008-05-07T10_49_45.txt 2008-05-07T10:49:45+02:00 2008-05-07T10:49:45+02:00

To allow easier management of Open Mashups Studio, we submitted it to Mozilla's addons repository. All new extension start their life in a sandbox, as experimental extension, and are not shown to non-registered users.

Of course our goal is to have Open Mashups Studio as a public extension on AMO, and to achieve this we need some positive reviews. You'll find details on how to write reviews in the sandbox here.

Thanks for your help !
