Copy edits are in the invisionapp mock. They include removing some body copy from the header and a tweak in the button. I assume the rest of the page is just placeholder, but to note that it's not the most up-to-date copy.

Schalk - this is ready to pick up and put on demo for review, please. not a whole lot of changes, happily.

Comment 7

[Schalk Neethling [:espressive]]

:CoCoMo, so I have the new page behind a flag that is used for all the other 57 related work i.e. firefox-57-release

Now, for the content updates, should I do the same there and have if/else clauses using the updated copy if the switch is flipped, and the fallback copy if it is not.

Writing that now, it does not make much sense to use the fallback copy. So, I am wondering, should the logic to show the new page be extended to check for the switch, and whether a localization exists?

Or would you suggest something completely different? Thank you in advance.

[Peiying Mo [:CocoMo]]

Schalk, sounds good to me. Once the new page is localized, it will replace the current hub page.

Comment 10

[Schalk Neethling [:espressive]]

Here is the page on the demo server:
https://bedrock-demo-schalk.us-west.moz.works/en-US/firefox/

Comment 11

[Peiying Mo [:CocoMo]]

Oh, I forgot to mention, this page is localized in German only and not available for other locales. We will leverage the localized content to the new page.

Comment 12

[Eric Renaud [:erenaud]]

Peiying -  the 'official' request is to localize just this new content here intended for launch on 11/14, as it will be the content put in place of the existing /firefox page.

The original /firefox/quantum was en-US and DE only, as you cite.

Please confirm, let me know of any questions.

Comment 13

[Peiying Mo [:CocoMo]]

Yes, that's correct.  The new page is intended for all the locales.  I didn't meat to indicate the old page is now opened up for all locales.

Peiying, what is the lang file I should use in my conditional? firefox/firefox-quantum.lang or another one?

Answering for Peiying: yes, that's the file where we are going to export new strings.

Comment 16

[Schalk Neethling [:espressive]]

Peiying, here is the test URL:
https://bedrock-demo-firefox-landing.us-west.moz.works/en-US/firefox/

Comment 17

[Eric Renaud [:erenaud]]

I just want to be sure that firefox/firefox-quantum.lang is correct?  That page /firefox-quantum will go away, be directed to /firefox. Is /firefox-quantum the proper naming?

Comment 18

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

The new page uses a lang file called /firefox/firefox-quantum, because that's the name of the template

Comment 20

[Eric Renaud [:erenaud]]

flod / peiying - please retract this from localizing.  The decision has been made to  insert entirely new content here.

Comment 21

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

We're throwing away content for 16 languages (227 words per file), and 15 languages partially translated. I'd like to understand how we got here, and more important how to avoid it in the future.

The copy and design created for the desktop page will be put into the /firefox page 
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1397519

That copy is now final and we'll request l10n just as soon as Alex can get a PR in.

I just wanted to briefly draw attention to flod’s comment 21, because I too would like to understand the reason for the change of content. Thank you.

I wish I had a better answer, but I think this is a case of sometimes people don't know what they want until they see it. It wasn't until product marketing saw the design & content for the /firefox/desktop/ page, that they felt it would be better suited at /firefox/ (despite work already happenign there). They felt the desktop page did a better job at positioning Firefox Quantum, so made the call to replace the content at /firefox/.

We totally appreciate all the work that had already gone into this, and can only apologise for such a late decision in the process.
