Comment 1

[John Slater]

Laura, do you want this done now or with the 3.6 launch?

Comment 2

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

I'd like this done for the launch.

Comment 5

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

This is setup in the firefox3.6 branch in r57499. There's a new copy of the 3.5 press kit page for 3.6:

http://www-3.6.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/press/kit-3-6.html

Note: this page only includes the en-US version of the kit.

Comment 6

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

There are a few more changes we need to make before this page is ready to go:

Can we change the link for the Fastest Firefox video and change it to link to  "Five Years of Firefox" site (the link should say "Five Years of Firefox" {http://www.spreadfirefox.com/5years/en-US/}).

Can we also remove the "Open Video..." link completely. 

Melissa will add the correct link to the Press Release (I believe)

We may also need to remove the FAQ link but I will confirm this and Melissa's ability to change the link to the Press Release tomorrow.

Comment 7

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

The Five Years of Firefox and Open Video changes have been done in r57538.

Comment 8

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

In response to comment 6, Melissa can automatically add the correct blogpost link to the Press Release when it is ready. 

She is currently working on the FAQ and will have it for eoweek.  Then we can the copy to a new page and link to it from the press kit.  Thanks for your patience.

Attachment: Final 3.6 FAQs

Here is the Final copy for the FAQ. I think we're all set once this has been added to the staged page.

Comment 10

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

The FAQ has been added to the 3.6 branch in r58980. An empty template for the 3.6 release announcement press release can be found here:
http://www-3.6.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/press/mozilla-2010-X-X.html

The FAQ can be found here:

The results in the performance chart looks the same as
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/performance/

* 18,148 ms
* 3,669 ms
* 1,524 ms

Comment 14

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

You are absolutely right. Excellent catch! I will get the new graphic tomorrow and reupload to all the reviewer's guides and get Steven to upload a new PDF.

Thank you, Kohei.

Comment 15

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Attachment: Final with corrected graphic

This is the final Guide with edited graphics.

Comment 16

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

The PDF is updated in the 3.6 branch in r59627.

Comment 17

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

You rock my socks off.  That is all.

Comment 18

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Looks great; the announcement and the FAQ will both be updated in a separate bug or here, Melissa/John?

Comment 19

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

The FAQ is final (doesn't need a date, per se).

I believe the Press Release will be done separately.

Comment 20

[John Slater]

That's right, we'll be doing a separate bug for the release (which will be ready soon, I think).

Comment 21

[u217243]

(In reply to comment #15)

The performance chart says "Results of ... Window XP machine" but
those images says Windows 7:
http://www-3.6.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html#feature-performance
http://www-3.6.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/underthehood/

Hmm...

Comment 22

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

I've emailed update images to Laura to correct the XP reference in the PDF mentioned in Comment #21.

Comment 23

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Currently with designer to make appropriate changes to rev guide.

Comment 24

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Attachment: Final. SERIOUSLY.

With corrected Windows 7 Text.

Comment 25

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Please hold off on implementing this. Looks like there is one more change.

Comment 26

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

One more thing besides the rev guide...

We'd to add a link to the Blogpost from the FAQ page.

Comment 27

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Attachment: Final. SERIOUSLY.

This is the most recent version. Approved by Shappy.

Comment 28

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

PDF updated in r59936.

Comment 29

[u217243]

One more thing I just found...

According to the Personas dashboard, the gallery has now over 40,000 entries:

Comment 30

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Thanks Kohei!  From now on we're going to call you Eagle-Eye Kohei ;)

I think we'll leave that innaccuracy, mainly because that means having to change references all over the 3.6 version of the site.  With launch so imminent (supposedly), I'd rather not make such a huge scale change. 

Thanks!

Comment 31

[John Slater]

To add to what Laura said, we actually decided to not to update the number on the website and other places because the content had already been localized with 30k as the figure. Our thought was that 30k was impressive enough, and it wasn't worth the extra trouble for the localizers to make a relatively minor change.

Going forward, we'll have to figure out a better strategy for once we pass really big milestones, like 50 or 100k, but that's an issue for another discussion.

Comment 32

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

I forgot one thing:

We will also need to put a link to the "What's New in 3.6" video in the Press Center, kind of like the link we have for the 5yrs of Firefox.

Instead it should say, "What's New in Firefox 3.6 Video"

Laura, is this replacing the "Overview Video" link? Does the "Five Years of Firefox" stay as well?

Comment 34

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Good call.  Yes, it replaces the Overview Video and Five Yrs of Firefox stays.

Thanks!

Comment 35

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

Thanks for the clarification - the video link is updated in r60296.

Where should this link go? Do you have the wording?

Comment 37

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

I was looking at the staged version of the page and I see a link for "View Press Release" at the top of the page, so I think it's already done?

Also, I dont see the 5yrs of Firefox video link anymore...

Comment 38

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

Oops, misread and removed the 5years link - added it back in r60299.

Comment 39

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

Laura - I think this is set - though it doesn't have a link to the press release (just the blog post).

Comment 40

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Yeah, that's perfect.

Thank you, Steven!

Comment 41

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

Can I resolve this bug - or is this staying open for the actual press release (that might be better in a separate bug).

Comment 42

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Agreed--Closing. I don't think we need another bug because the link I sent you will go live when everything else goes live...so I think we're set?

Comment 43

Verified FIXED on https://www-3.6.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/press/kit-3-6.html.

Comment 44

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Just found another issue:

The FAQ page has a link to the blogpost, but its showing the wrong one. 

It should be: http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2010/01/21/firefox-3-6-release/

Please file a separate bug?  This is getting confusing.

Comment 46

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Sorry--lets close this. Will file another bug.

Thx, Laura; just don't want to miss anything, and this helps me keep the verifications better-scoped.
