[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

that mean you want to remove the current How do you want to get involved? Section and replace this with your idea ?

Comment 2

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

Yep, that's what I mean :)

Comment 3

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

I'm still a bit unclear. To clarify, looking at https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:File-Frontpage_mock_no_button_slidedown.PNG shows the homepage is different from current one. Will the hyperlink to Mibbit chat be in the "Get Involved" bullet-list?

Comment 4

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

The Mibbit chat client hyperlink will be on the "#qa channel on irc.mozilla.org" text within the COmmunicate channel. Hope that clears things up :)

Comment 5

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

So depending on how well this has to match the mockup at https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:File-Frontpage_mock_no_button_slidedown.PNG, an ETA for this is by the end of next week.

Will having this page as in the mockup also resolve bug 486004?

How's the implementation of this page going, Paul?

Comment 8

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Sorry for being late on this. Got a SUMO deadline that's keeping me tied up... Unfortunately I can't say when I'll get to this.

Comment 9

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

That's fine, the only deadline for me is to get this bug (and the log-in admin menu dropdown bug) completed before the end of the month. Is that possible?

Comment 10

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Yep. I'll be done with school in 2 weeks, I should have much more time. Finals keep me busy now.

Comment 11

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

Ack, I had no idea, good luck with your finals! Kick some educational butt!

Comment 12

Committed to stage: r27918
Check out: https://quality.authstage.mozilla.com/home

The page title shows up, and it's sort of duplicated. We can either change the page title, or hide it. Please take a look and make a note of what I should change.

Comment 13

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

Let's hide it. Also, can we change the text "Communicate" and "Get Involved" to look like the top "Get Involved" title?

Lastly, the Project links at the bottom show up automatically below the "I'd actually like to help out somewhere else". They should only show/hide when the I'd actually like to help out somewhere else link to clicked.

Looks good Paul, but let's make those changes and see how it looks after that. I'm going to have the mozQA team take a look at the changes after both bugs are moved to resolved:fixed.

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

r27937 I had that part ready but I was testing and forgot to uncomment it :)...
Wait ~10m and try it out!

Ready on prod:
http://quality.mozilla.org/home

If all looks okay, I'll make the switch to have this page be the new homepage.

Comment 17

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Switched home page on production.
