1152909 - iOS release notes page - Development

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Cory Price [:ckprice] (bugmail disabled, NI me!)]

We'll need a release notes page built for iOS which is launching with 38.1 (June 2nd).

Initial questions

- Do we need design, or can we re-purpose https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/32.0/releasenotes/?
- What is going to be the URL? (we'll probably want to chance the Android URL too)
- Who will be responsible for entering notes into admin?

Met today to discuss iOS release notes - https://spring15.etherpad.mozilla.org/ios-weekly-checkin (2015-04-16)

Phase 1 - backend

Add product to nucleus so we can begin entry

Phase 2 - frontend

Add template/view clone from Android notes

Design direction:

# Let's keep all 4 links in the same area. We can use text links
    Latest Firefox release
    Latest Firefox for Android
    Latest Firefox for iOS
    Only include /firefox/releases if they are on desktop

:sylvestre - just want to confirm that you/your team will be adding release notes for iOS when it launches. Also, when do you think you'll be ready to input?

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Yes, that is going to be our team which will deal with writing the release notes for iOS.
For the update of our tool to manage that, nucleus, we will have to discuss with the web team but that should not be too hard.

Bug 1153351 has moved Android relnotes from /mobile/ to /firefox/android/.

We didn't ship iOS. Keeping the tracker open as it may prove helpful to use these bugs for reference when iOS does ship.

[Karen Rudnitski [:kar]]

Cory - iOS will be shipping within a few months. How best do we ensure all of the associated work is tracking towards a launch date?

> a launch date?
Is there such a thing?

The tracker remains open (bug 1131702). When/if there is clarity on the iOS launch date, we can revisit.

Hi Sylvestre-

Thx,
Jen

Comment 8

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Yes, we will take care of the content.
We can also help with the development if needed.

Comment 9

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

^Question for Mike and Sylvestre:  Are the ios release notes really blocked by the work to update the front end design of release notes?

Comment 10

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Jenn, it is not blocked. I opened bug 1216956 and I will reply to our email thread.
