115567 - obsolete default bookmarks (alphanumerica, total recall, newzilla)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 229234

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Sébastien Delahaye]

Two of the default bookmarks given with Mozilla are obsolete : 
- Bookmarks > Mozilla Project > Community > AlphaNumerica's Mozilla Development
Projects (http://www.alphanumerica.com/projects/mozilla/)
- Bookmarks > Mozilla Project > Third-Party Tools > Crash Recovery -
AlphaNumerica's Total Recall
(http://www.alphanumerica.com/projects/mozilla/total_recall/)

Both are redirected to CollabNet, where they do not exist. And there is no
mention of both of them on the CollabNet website.

[Jesse Ruderman]

In a new profile created by build 2001 121703 (Win98), the URLs are different:

Community > Alphanumerica's Mozilla Development Projects    
http://www.mozdev.org/ (!!!)

Third-party tools > Crash Recovery - Alphanumerica's Total Recall
http://aphrodite.mozdev.org/total_recall.html (correct)

IMO, the mozdev link should be moved to third-party tools and renamed 
to "mozdev.org".  Also, it seems strange to point to one and only one mozdev 
project in the default bookmarks.

Plug: I wouldn't mind if http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/ was added 
to "Third-party tools" :)

Adding polish and helpwanted keywords, probably a volunteer finds some time.

Attachment: simple fix

Looks like the reporter was seeing a different localized copy.	I updated all
three versions I found (default, en-DE, and en-GB), moving and renaming
mozdev.org, and added Jesse's site as well.  They seem to be a little out of
sync, though.  I don't know if that is by design or not.

There is probably some other clean up that done as there seem to be a lot of
extraneous fields that we don't really need to set.  Let me know what should be
done, and I'll take care of it.

It would be nice if the patch from comment #4 could be applied...
The default bookmarks have not changed since comment #1.
Now, NewZilla is seriously outdated (the latest update has more than one year)
and some other great sites about Mozilla have appeared.

I would suggest removing NewZilla and replacing it by MozillaNews
(http://www.mozillanews.org/) and BlogZilla (http://www.deftone.com/blogzilla/).
XULplanet.com could also be added to the "Developer Information" category, IMHO.

mental's patch shouldn't cause any regression. can anyone set a
real target milestone to get this bug out of the way?

Comment 9

[Chris Lyon]

The patch needs to be updated to remove all dead links.

Attachment: Up-to-date patch

New patch :
- removed NewZilla, AlphaNumerica's Total Recall (there is no download link on
the page, so it's pretty useless) and the link to the Netscape PSM FAQ
(docs.iplanet.com has moved to docs.sun.com, and I was unable to relocate the
page about Netscape PSM).
- Renamed AlphaNumerica to mozdev.org and moved it to Third-party Tools
- Added XULplanet.com in Developer's infos, MozillaNews.org and Blogzilla in
Community, PluginDoc, Jesse's bookmarklets and two themes sites in Third-party
Tools
