I apologize for the lack of updates recently. I was feeling pretty
unwell in the middle of this month and it lingered longer than I would
have liked.
AMO status was somewhat paralyzed while Mozilla was internally
discussing resource allocations. We had a meeting about this today and
they don't feel like they can allocate the ops resources necessary to
put up the temporary site of AMO by themselves. The issues that made us
choose this solution remain, however, so, since I'm a mozilla foundation
contractor, I offered to do the ops work within their infrastructure.
They agreed that this was a reasonable solution. We'll be using a
thunderbird.net domain and certificate, and since I'll need to set this
up on our infrastructure later on, the scripts and deployment procedures
I develop and learn will be applicable to our own setup later on, so
this is still a relatively reasonable use of my time.
We had put together a requirements document and schedule for the
original effort, you can find that here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIu9Wh18rsgeZibYCOcX2H13ZeSQTgVS3PUn1GrRFAU/edit.
The schedule in particular is probably no longer realistic, but it
should give an idea of what is involved for those who would like to know.
Also, I should be back to doing weekly updates going forward.

This is great! It's much better for you to set it up, for the reasons
you mentioned.

I can't access that, it demands a Google account. Could you please make
the doc viewable by everybody? I can see and edit other Google docs,
without login. Alternatively, could you post the relevant contents here,
please?

Sorry about that. Jorgev on the AMO team created the doc and made it
Mozilla-only, I gave it a quick once-over and there isn't anything in
there that is problematic to share publicly so I just made a copy of the
doc. If there are any major changes I'll make another copy and link it
with the status report next week.
