<p>Hey Geoff,</p>
<p>I'm not sure how clear it comes across in the meeting notes,
but the idea was that we should add someone. The follow on
question is what areas do we have them focus on that most
quickly improves the lives of add-on developers?<br>

* Wayne brought up that there isn't agreement in philosophy
on the amount of resources to use on supporting add-ons. The
amount of support necessary is likely disproportionate to the
number of add-ons and add-on users. Some amount of commitment
should be made. <br>
* Jörg identified that many power users (the biggest
advocates for Thunderbird) likely use add-ons. <br>
* Patrick and Ryan discussed what the root cause might be:
do we need more documentation? Guidance? <br>

More personnel? There's much more we could/should be doing but
I'm swamped with a number of big projects on the go. The current
rate of about one meaningful API addition per release cycle is
nowhere near enough. <br>
