56181 - Broken mozilla.org links

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

[Following a discussion in the newsgroups about Netscape-only web links on 
mozilla.org]

The page at the URL given contain links to Netscape-only internal resources. 
Please could you make the documents at the end of these links available to the 
rest of the world by checking them in to the mozilla.org CVS tree and updating 
the links as appropriate? 

If you do not have time to do this, feel free to mail me the document and I will 
ensure that this gets done.

Sorry brendan - I assumed you didn't want to be CCed on this lot. If I'd known 
you did, I would have done it. Never mind :-)

The "broken links" are references to the UI documents which the UI group had not 
placed on mozilla.org at the time the test plans were written. They don't hinder 
in running the tests outlined in the plans and I've mentioned this to asa.

At that time (more than a year ago), we had a choice: not publish any of QA test 
plans for Mozilla to view/use or publish the QA test plans as is so that at 
least the test plans would be functional for Mozilla to use. We had no control 
over the UI group to publish their specs and wanted to get as much of our test 
plans out to Mozilla as possible.

Once Seamonkey RTM is complete, then Netscape QA can follow up with the UI group 
to see if they have updated their UI specs to mozilla.org and update our test 
plans accordingly. If you don't want our tests to be on mozilla.org because they 
reference broken links, let me know and I will remove all of our test plans 
until we have time to focus on updating them.

I'd suggest that you may want to contact the UI group as to their plans for 
publishing the UI specs. Thanks.

Lisa - I hope this one reply will suffice to all the copies of this answer that 
you filed :-)

I understand that the broken links don't hinder the test plans, and obviously 
don't want them to be removed from mozilla.org. 

What would be ideal would be to know who in UI is responsible for posting the 
relevant documents - we can assign these bugs to them and then, when they are 
posted, back to whoever to update the links (or I can do it.)

accepting QA for mozilla developer docs.

some of these bugs have been around for a _long_ time. Reporters, would you
please review the bugs, see if the issues have been resolved, and close bugs
appropriately.

I will do a full review of all bugs not touched in one week (8th April). 

Thanks.

So might this bug even resolved now? Netscape is death, the documents are
somewhere lost i think, or?

Attachment: patch #1

This fixes the links. The document needs some extra work though. But that is a
separate bug; I can start working on it after this is checked in.

Another one ready to be checked in...
