345363 - add document about "compatibility with assistive technologies"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

Bug 315402 added the accessibility section in Firefox's built-in Help. At the bottom, it contains this section:

"The latest information about compatibility with third-party assistive
technologies is online at Access Mozilla: Compatibility with assistive technologies."

The linked document is http://www.mozilla.org/access/compatibility.

That is still 404.

I don't want this on mozilla.org -- that's a website for developers and I don't want regular Firefox users getting confused by poking around there.

Please put this on a wiki where Firefox documents really live.

Comment 2

[Steffen Wilberg]

Mark, can you create a placeholder page on wiki.mozilla.org, please? I'd like our help docs to link to the final doc instead of a redirect page.

How is l10n supposed to work on this document?(In reply to comment #1)

Firefox documents live on mozilla.com, I would say. That would enable us to localize that page, too.
We could use a devmo page, too, which has l10n support as well. Putting that page on wiki.m.o sounds bad to me, as wiki is really more about project and planning.

And most of all, this is running really late.

Axel, no one suggests wiki.mozilla.org or developer.mozilla.org since those are developer pages. kb.mozillazine.org is a consideration since it's for end user information.

mozilla.com is fine but how many layers of process do we need whenever we want to update the info there?

Comment 5

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

kb.mozillazine.org is NOT localizable at the moment. A localized mozilla.com page seems to be the best option here.

Comment 6

[Aaron Leventhal]

Okay, mozilla.com lends extra credibility to the information.

However, someone please outline the steps we'll need to take when we want to update the information, and how long we'll typically need to wait. Is there any kind of content management system where we can have access to that page and make changes whenever we want?

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

mozilla.com sounds like the best option on paper but we are certainly not ready yet for that, at least as long as mozilla.com isn't localisable.

This new content is coming a bit late in the game, I am not sure we'll be able to have it translated in all languages planned for the Firefox 2 release since we are just starting to work on adapting Mozilla Europe CMS for Mozilla.com needs and finding volunteers to translate the pages.

Even with the Firefox delaying, we are very short on time. in short I agree that we should have it on end-users pages, but I am not sure we can make it for the Fx2 release, maybe a bit later. Se should have more visibility on this mid-september since many localizers are on holidays now and this needs to be discussed with them.

CCing Paul, Gen and Tristan on this since it will probably affect Mozilla Europe/Mozilla.com/Mozilla japan content

Mark's on vacation -- where is the compatibility document right now?

[Aaron Leventhal]

Fixed, we can tweak it as we go.
