Description

[Mike Taylor [:miketaylr]]

I'm abusing this product to track a TODO, sorry everyone.

I had promised to move <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cizvn4wahdfwHUVG_H_Uf15HPBTWyB6GH7j_utHdrKc/edit?usp=sharing> to somewhere public, so this bug tracks getting that done (ideally before we go on winter holidays).

Oof. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EJpwpS1wJw7jDkeAfaLhrPi7zLLoJxpsJKwT8NHZGKE/edit# is a copy of the original document which has been made public -- no references to private bugs. Still need to do this...

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.

Tantek, since you own the UA string module and Mike left, do you think there is value in the contents of the Google Doc linked here, and is there a fitting place to move this to?

:denschub, since the doc is already public, and I'm a fan of archives for this kind of historical information (I see value in the contents), I suggest the Mozilla Wiki, which is a good default location for (more comprehensive) public historical information. I would leave it up to MDN folks to then use the wiki as a source for a curated summary if they think that would be useful to the MDN audience in particular.

:denschub if you want to take point here and propose a page/structure for moving this content to the Mozilla Wiki and do so, I'm happy to peer-review such steps to help move things forward. Thanks.
