529926 - Blog feeds for Get Involved and Developers pages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Caitlin Looney]

Steven Garrity have been discussing this project. On the current Firefox.com/mobile page, there is a Here from the Team section with links to many of the mobile team members. 
For the next mobile index page, we'd like to incorporate this same concept, but showing the top three latest blog feeds (vs. a list of links to various blogs).
The MCC is a good example of what we'd like to see: See under News Feeds: http://creative.mozilla.org/

Our blogs have been aggregated via this feed if that helps: http://friendfeed.com/firefoxmobile

We could probably re-use the code we have for the mozilla.org front page feeds for this. See http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/includes/MozillaOrg/FeedParser.php?view=log)

morgamic: that seem reasonable to you?

I'm unclear on which page this is being added to.  index-later?  Or, there was also mention of a redesigned index page?  

If that feed parser works well for moz.org, it works for me.

Caitlin, where do I add these blog feeds?  I think you've said

1) the new landing page, but where on this page?
2) the get involved page, right sidebar, under the survey link

Correct?  

Thanks.

2) Develop for mobile page in right-hand gutter

I should drop a quick update:

I built the code for these yesterday, and it worked out fine.  (btw, I ended up using FriendFeed's JSON API, instead of SimplePie.  Also, added some simple memcaching)

BUT,  when I moved the changes to www-trunk.stage, those pages broke.  They are still broken, and I've been working with IT all morning to debug it. 

So, getinvolved and developers pages will be broken for now, hopefully we'll have these fixed very soon.

I replaced the broken feeds with a test feed for now.  Still no luck on debugging the actual feeds :(

Hey Alex,

1) What's the status here with blog feeds.

2) Also, I can no longer find "Develop mobile landing page" bug. I want to check with Stephen Donner if QA is complete so we can pass to l10n (immediately).

3) Also, on the landing page, when the movie is selected can it pop out in larger view?

I'll make some Get Involved page comments on that bug.

I'll get this debugged tomorrow, I've already talked to the IT guys and mentioned it's important to fix very soon.

Ok, debugged the broken blog feeds, they are working on trunk now.

Comment 10

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

This works on trunk now, so I'll resolve.

bug 533486 exists to apply the server config changes that fixed comment 5, to the stage and production servers.

http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/getinvolved/ and http://friendfeed.com/firefoxmobile?format=atom match; likewise, http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/developers/ matches.

I'm leery of verifying this bug while bug 533486 is still open; I've set a dependency in the meantime.
