Theme installation broken temporarily
It seems I did more than just break download counts - theme installation was completely fubared 
Our apologies - we’ve now fixed the problem (thanks to Giorgio Maone and Wladimir Palant.)
Also in the latest update, Morgamic fixed a bug which caused your add-on to be updated (as in, jump to the top of the recently updated list and RSS feed) when you changed some of the metadata associated with it (eg. add-on description.) Add-ons are now only “updated” when a new version is uploaded. (While it could be argued that an extension is actually being updated when the developer adjusts the metadata, we believe that uploading a new version of an add-on is what users actually expect when viewing add-ons that are recently updated.)
The Remora meeting yesterday was a long one, but productive IMO. We thrashed out a lot of scheduling and target milestone stuff… and although we’ve missed our current ship date twice already, this time I’m remotely confident that we can make it, as long as we don’t change our requirements again… heh.
devon scrawled,
Wouldn’t it make more sense to put the extension on the recently updated list once it is actually approved? (not when the developer uploads it)
The recently updated list is for ‘users,’ correct? What good is it if these users don’t yet have access to the newly uploaded add-on?
Just a thought, thanks for your work on AMO
Cheers,

@Devon,
Yes, that certainly would make more sense, and we have a bug open for it too - feel free to CC yourself. However, we are trying hard not to do any work on the current site to focus development time on v3 - Remora, so it is unlikely that the bug will be fixed on the current site.

VanillaMozilla scrawled,
That’s great. When will it take effect?
And what’s the current launch date for Remora? Thanks.

Cameron scrawled,
@VanillaMozilla,
The changes to sorting should be effective or right now.
You can see in the Remora meeting notes that we hope to have an early preview of the public site (alpha) out on December 18th, with a feature-complete beta on January 15th.
