418917 - Have a cron job publish changes to surveys.mozilla-europe.org

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

I learned from Pascal Chevrel that form this week on, thanks to a cron job, the changes made to the mozilla-europe.org site (tagged with the production tag) will no longer require submitting IT bugs.

I would like to ask if a similar solution could be possible on surveys.mozilla-europe.org. The reason I think this would be helpful is following: 

I imagine that in the near future surveys.mozilla-europe.org will be used not only as a general study about the community, but also in more specific situations, like an extension evaluation or feedback after an event.

It was the latter example that made me submit this bug: on Sunday I will have a talk on Fosdem about surveys.mozilla-europe.org and I had an idea of publishing a very short survey on line, just for the audience. Right there, right then. 

The current publishing process involving IT bugs makes this idea almost impossible.

A cron job every hour would be great :-) What do you think?

Nope - I still want oversight from someone in at least pascal's role to look over any changes to Mozilla properties before sending them live.  *Any* changes to mozilla-europe should even now require his approval (through the cms or bugzilla), so I don't want to remove that.  We'll keep the bug policy for other sites...
