426920 - developer-forums.html needs to make it clearer that mozilla.* is not part of Usenet

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[»Q«]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080330 Firefox/2.0.0.13
Build Identifier: 

Two things under the "General Information" heading:

Giganews is sponsoring free access to the Mozilla Development Forums' Usenet hierarchy "mozilla.*". 

should be 'the Mozilla Developer Forums' newsgroup hierarchy "mozilla.*".'

or, alternatively, 'the Mozilla Developer Forums' netnews hierarchy "mozilla.*".'

and 'is not propagated to other Usenet servers.' should be 'is not propagated to Usenet servers.'  (Leaving "other" in there implies that n.m.o is itself a Usenet server.)

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Closing old Mozilla.org website bugs due to them not being relevant to the new Python-based Bedrock system. Re-open if this is a critical bug and should be resolved on the new system too.

Comment 2

[Samuel Sidler (:ss)]

I agree with comment 0. This is still relevant.

Comment 4

[Kohei]

This is a pretty old bug, and I think this has already been fixed with this sentence:

> The mozilla.* hierarchy is a local news hierarchy only available 
> through news.mozilla.org and is not propagated to other Usenet servers.
