423925 - Do something on www.mozilla.org on 3/31 for 10th anniversary

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[David Boswell]

We should do something on www.mozilla.org to acknowledge the anniversary.  The current updating effort isn't far enough along to do anything too big, like putting a new home page up or a new design, but there are other things we could do.  Maybe putting a splash page up on the home page with a 10th anniversary graphic or something?  Feel free to post ideas...

For reference, we had a full page for the 1 year anniversary of the Mozilla Foundation which then let you continue on to mozilla.org/index.html.

Reed, we can get the page up in time. Can you handle the redirect to make anyone going to http://www.mozilla.org/ to redirect to the page we upload? We'll have a link so they can get to index.html.

Looking at the historical stuff, I'm not sure how we did this last time. I don't think we used an .htaccess redirect. Looks like we did something at the Apache level.

Yes, that's easy to do.

I'm taking this since I'll likely be the one to puts the pieces together and makes the page.

Reed, when you get a chance, can you attach (or add in a comment) the htaccess entry we're going to use? You can fake it to mf-first-anniversary.html. I just want something here for bread-truck reasons. :)

justdave checked in a change to NOWRAP so the page didn't layout poorly and I just made an additional change to link directly to the comment form on Mitchell's post.

Almost there...
