1199483 - Implement Correct Labels on Chrome Browser Table

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: BrowserCompat, defect)

Description

[jmedley]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
The version of Chrome identified as 'current' is actually a development version. http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/3

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Leaving this as is may be potentially misleading to new Web Developers.

Who would use this?
===================
All developers looking for information about Chrome.

What would users see?
=====================
Something like this would be nice:

46 (canary)
45 (beta)
44 (current)

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Developers would have correct information about the available Chrome development channels.


Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

I left off one thing. We need this labeling for Chrome for Android (http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/4) and Android Webview (http://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/browse/browsers/16) as well.

It is currently possible to update this version information through the API, but this is difficult and not the general solution.  The desired workflow is that domain experts use the contribution and moderation interface to update version information as new versions are released. If possible, I'd like to wait until the prototype C&M interface is ready, and test this use case against it.

the Plane milestone is the one targeted to open the C&M interface to the public, we need to make sure we had fixed this before reaching that milestone.

The BrowserCompat project is canceled.  See https://github.com/mdn/browsercompat for current effort. Bulk status change includes the random word TEMPOTHRONE.
