1245081 - Move start.mozilla.org files from SVN to GitHub

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Firefox Start, defect)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Background: we're in the process of moving as many l10n projects as possible away from SVN to GitHub. 

Right now I don't know who owns this website, and if it makes sense to migrate the strings at all
https://github.com/mozilla/fx36start

Last change on this website happened in bug 1185164 (redirect fx4+ users).

Moving strings from SVN to GitHub is relatively fast, but we need to update tools, and the website code to checkout strings from the right repository.

Is this website still relevant? Should we update the code?

@Chris
Are you the owner of this website, or can at least direct to the right person?

Hey :flod.

Not really, but no one else was touching it and a few of us did number of updates to the websites to get users converted over to about:home. 

It is unlikely that there will be much of any changes done to the site. Does it matter that we probably won't make any changes to the site in the future?

If there is any changes needed, I would ping :bensternthal and :jpetto.

The idea is that the SVN server will go away soonish.

We can move the strings over to GitHub in case we need to do more changes in the future, but, if we do, we have to update the code to make sure that any deploy would pick the strings from the right place. 

I'll take a look at the code to see how hard it'd be to fix it.

John, are you OK with reviewing this?

From a local test with ./update.sh everything seems to work as expected (files are generated and localized).

That was quick! Luckily, it is a very small website.
