759139 - [bedrock] copyright notice in base.html has hardcoded year and link

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

The copyright notice in the footer of mozilla.org has a harcoded year, currently the string is:

https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/dev/templates/base.html#L123

Portions of this content are ©1998–2012 by individual mozilla.org contributors. Content available under a <a href="/foundation/licensing/website-content.html">Creative Commons license</a>.

We need the '2012' mention to be dynamic and updating itself automatically when 2013 comes because we don't want to ask localizers to update their string for new year every year. I would also prefer the url to be a variable with the locale code included.

Something like:

Portions of this content are ©1998–{currentYear} by individual mozilla.org contributors. Content available under a <a href="{url}">Creative Commons license</a>.

Assigning to Anthony but feel free to reassign :)

Thanks
