[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

Hi Flod-

We will have a new connected devices page live in mid-April.  Let's discuss whether or not to expose to localizers since it will exist only approx 2.5 months.

Thx,
Jen

With that lifespan is probably border line, but I expect the Connected Devices team to push for its localization.
I also still need to figure out the story behind Connected Devices, hopefully I'll have a better idea after Singapore.

Note about the other parts: removing partners is easy (and welcome), firefox/os/2.5 will be trickier (I don't know how much we're missing in localized versions of the page).

I filed Bug 1239960 to take down the partners page.

Comment 4

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

Hi Flod,

Any ideas on how many locales are missing for the /firefox/os/2.5/ page? 

We need to tackle Bug 1233052 soon, but if we can retire the old Firefox OS pages it means we don't need to change the way we do geolocation for those pages. Either way it is not a blocker, but would be useful in order to determine scope. Thanks!

The 2.5 version was *never* localized and launched as en-US only. Basically I  have no idea of how many strings our locales are missing if we decide to enable 2.5 for everyone.

Jen, how would you like to proceed? I guess we can either just remove the old pages and ask all locales to catch up (in the meantime they will default to en-US), or we could first give locales some time before making the changes.

Remove old pages and give locales the choice to catch up or wait for a new page to be live in April.  This is a low priority for localization right now.  Thanks.

Just realized that we have another pretty big page: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/os/faq/

Should this be part of this decommissioning plan?

Comment 10

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

Pull request above to remove the legacy Firefox OS pages from bedrock ^

Jen, this change will remove the version-specific URLs, and the 2.5 template will be displayed at the following page URL:

/firefox/os/

All version specific URLs (/firefox/os/2.5/, /firefox/os/2.0/ etc) will redirect to just /firefox/os/.

Does this sound ok?

I will leave updating the Family Navigation / Product page to a separate followup PR, as this is already a large change to review.

I believe this page is linked in-product from Firefox OS devices. If we we're to remove it, we'd need to redirect the URL somewhere.

Adding one more question: I checked the 2.5 template and we basically have none of the strings (if exclude meta tags), so I plan to put this page as "optional" (locales can decide to localize it and opt-in).

Before doing that, can you confirm me that we don't expect any string change at this point for firefox/os (before April)?

I would call localization for this page a very low priority.  This page will be decommissioned in May in favor of a new Connected Devices page.

Also fine to redirect the FAQ to SUMO

Thanks everyone

Jen,

One simple solution for the family navigation would be to hide the Firefox OS link on all pages except if the user is already on one of the remaining Firefox OS pages. 

This may not be an ideal solution, but it's the only one I can think of that mitigates needing to rethink the navigation on the Firefox OS pages.

I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like. Does this sound like an ok short-term solution?

Yes please!  Let's do that.  Thanks, agibson.

Hi, 

Just only to double confirm, the thing that we have still pending is: 

4. Make /firefox/os/2.5 the default page for all locales and locations (remove all other templates - 1.3, 1.7, etc - and all geolocation logic).

Am I right? Do we have an ETA for this?

Thanks!!!
