287655 - Default homepage, two of default "Camino Info" bookmarks, 5 Help menu items point to old pages

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Now that the new project pages have gone live on caminobrowser.org, the
default/first launch homepage (on new installs) is still
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/welcome.html> and contains links to
pages that are outdated by the new pages.

Two of the default set's bookmarks (in the "Camino Info" toolbar folder) are
also to pages on the old project site.  The first, "Camino" is to
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/> which redirects.  The second, "Camino
Feedback" is to <http://www.mozilla.org/projects/camino/feedback.html>, like the
default homepage, includes links to old projects pages (as well as one bad link
to an anchor on the former project homepage).

Ideally these are simple fixes that could be dobe for 0.8.3, but time might be
too short or the fixes more complex :-)

We had this discussion on IRC a couple of times.

The main page for new installs will remain on m.o's servers. I think that we
should move it to the products section and remove the projects section entirely.

If the other links remain the same (which they probably will), the feedback page
should at least redirect to our "contact" page.

I'm targeting for 0.9 as this should be done by then.

Mike, how does all that sound?

what exactly are you suggesting? i'm not following?

On related matter, 4 of the 5 "URL" items in the Help menu point to outdated
pages on the old site (the fifth, Camino Project Page, redirects).

Basically, I'm saying that we should setup redirects for those pages to the new
site on mozilla.org. This has a couple of advantages. First, people go straight
to the new site and everything stays "themed". Second, if for whatever reason
cb.o should go down, the links still point to mozilla.org and the redirects can
simply be turned off.

Changing the links to point to a "non-permanent" server is really the issue that
Mike has, and I agree with that. Setting up htaccess redirects would solve this.

Mike, don't resolve this bug, specifically the link to the new start page, until
bug 293063 is resolved.

Alright Mike, here are the old and new links to update (preferably before 09a1):

1) Camino Feedback: setup redirect at mozilla.org/projects/camino/feedback.html
to caminobrowser.org/support/sup_contact.html

2) Release Notes: setup redirect at
mozilla.org/products/camino/releases/0.9a1.html to
caminobrowser.org/releases/09a1.html (note the lack of the . in the filename)

3) Tips and Trick: setup redirect at
mozilla.org/products/camino/features/tipsTricks.html to caminobrowser.org/support/

4) Customizing Search Engines: setup redirect at
mozilla.org/products/camino/features/searchCustomization.html to
caminobrowser.org/support/docs/doc_search.html

That should do it. We're setting up the start page as mentioned in bug 293063 so
don't change that yet. Once these redirects are setup, the start page is the
last thing to do and we can resolve this bug.

(Also, as a side note, the link for the release notes in the 09a1 nightlies is
broken.)

Mike, bug 293063 landed so you can update one more link as follows:

5) Redirect mozilla.org/projects/camino/welcome.html to caminobrowser.org/start/

done. moved 1-5 over to cb.org via .htaccess redirects.
