1773900 - Add "Share Ideas and Feedback" for Mozilla Connect to help menus

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

We (which includes Ryan) decided several weeks back to use https://connect.mozilla.org/ as our venue for user submitted suggestions and ideas ... but then forgot about it except when working on the beta start page.

So for version 102 we should add https://connect.mozilla.org/ to Help menu bar and appmenu. We can borrow Firefox's string "Share Ideas and Feedback"?

Also suggest adding a separator below "Keyboard Shortcuts" to deliniate the items below, which are get involved, donate, and share ideas.

I've connected several other help menu bug reports.

Martin, would you be able to take care of this?

Thanks Wayne for the initiative! Sounds good, also the separator.
Donations should probably be first or last item at a separator, marketing will know the best position.

Sadly we can't directly use the strings from m-c since they are in browser/ and thus not directly usable for us. This means we will have to add a new string for this.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Dang. Do we have any existing string with some form of the words feedback or suggest available?

Comment 6

[Martin Giger [:freaktechnik]]

I can't find anything that's not spelling suggestions or similar...

Actually, there's https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/baseMenuOverlay.dtd#23 which we even already have a button for somehow.

Martin, thanks for finding that

The patch in this doesn't currently use the suggested label. Since this will likely be uplifted I'd like to leave this patch as is. I'd suggest adding the string change to bug 1773904

Looks good Wayne, but how do the folk make suggestions about Thunderbird? I don't even see any Thunderbird labels that could be used.

We'll get that sorted out. In the mean time, it is stil usable.
