Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: planet.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Rainer Bielefeld]

On Planet Mozilla Projects list i found 2 obsolete links:

1. SeaMonkey - Blog
   Still leads to <http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/seamonkey/>
   Link target needs to be changed to
   <https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/>
2. SeaMonkey Trunk Tracker  <http://smtt.blogspot.com/>
   with latest update Friday, January 27, 2012
   I haven't a clue what that is, but someone should thin about that and
   decide whether that link should be dropped.

Please forward with some comments to product=Websites or whatever else mitght be the appropriate destination for a fix.

This can be removed I think. Jens can you confirm?

Part of our Planet cleanup is to ask people to tag their feeds explicitly for inclusion in Planet. If you can give me a feed URL with a "SeaMonkey" or "Mozilla" tag, that'll do fine.

<https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/feed/> should work for the English Language SeaMonkey blog.

Yes, confirmed. I don't think I'll ever find time again to pick up there.

All content on the SM blog is on topic (SM/Mozilla) so I don't see the point of adding a keyword to each and every post. It's simply more work for those who post to the blog. But in case this is an absolute requirement, please ask ewong, Callek or mcsmurf.

<i>It's simply more work for those who post to the blog.</i>

That extra bit of work is the reason for it, a user-side flag saying "yes, we know this will be syndicated to Planet."

CC'ing ewong.

As Jens mentioned in comment #4, entries posted to the blog are
on-topic to SeaMonkey/Mozilla so the aforementioned feed url
is valid.

The role of the tag is not to isolate content, it is to act as an "are you sure?" button for Planet syndication, and it is a requirement for Planet participation.

Right. I'm just finding my way around the blog right now.  
Where do we put this tag?  Is this just a special category?

Any tag or category will do, as long as there is one.

I'm going to go with "SeaMonkey" as the category, if mcsmurf doesn't
object.

Hi Mike...

I guess Mcsmurf's busy and with Callek also busy, please
use "seamonkey"  as the tag.  (I tried SeaMonkey, but wp just
lowercases everything...)

And since it's only a tag, it shouldn't matter.

Comment 12

[Mike Hoye [:mhoye]]

OK, starting with comment 4, I've removed of the SMTT appearances on Planet in revision 142414.

Comment 13

[Mike Hoye [:mhoye]]

... and in revision 142415 I've updated all the mozillazine URLS with 
https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/category/seamonkey/feed/

per above. Changes to Planet will go live within the hour.

I'm going to close this as fixed, but the following links related to seamonkey exist on various planets, if you'd like me to do anything about them.

Erm, yes, late reply...seamonkey is fine as a tag here.
