Kill it dead!

Comment 1

[Mary]

Please - no killing until later this week.

Comment 2

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

This includes removing sl and en-GB from settings.py and the locale dir

Comment 3

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

It's best to kill on Friday's -- there's less of a chance for retaliation.

I'm not sure how/where to remove locale/[sl, en-GB], since it's a submodule (therefore a different repo?)

Comment 5

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Looks awesome.  I'll whack sl and en-GB from locale/.  Also, for posterity, here are the stats at the end:

Hey guys:  We'll announce the winner in approximately 2 hours...can we do this all EOD tomorrow?

Lemme know :)

Comment 8

[Alex Buchanan [:abuchanan]]

AFAIK, we're not (and almost never do) launching anything Friday evening.  The next scheduled AMO launch (per this handy-dandy calendar http://is.gd/cGud9, bookmark it!) is the 22nd.

So, I assume FxCup will be removed from production on the 22nd

Comment 9

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Yep, this is going live (ie. being removed) next week.

Also, alex, can you remove the firefoxcup_might_be_a_social_media_expert cron job from scripts/crontab/?  It's trying to run and failing.

Yes, just removed that

oh he dead: https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Comment 12

[Mary]

Hey guys:  So just talked to Jane and the snippet is going to be in rotation for another week (we can't pull it + Google was late getting it up). Can we leave the site in place for another week but pull the AMO promo?

Thanks!

Comment 13

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

This is a verified/fixed bug and the push for it is already filed and scheduled to go out.  Reverting code is pushing back other projects; how critical is it that this is reverted and why wasn't that determined earlier?

Comment 14

[Mary]

People will be directed from the start page snippet to a dead site.  Pretty sucky.  Anything you could do would be super helpful.  We have very little control over the snippets.

CC:ing Jane in case there are any strings she can pull.  Thanks!

Comment 15

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Let's redirect firefoxcup.com to the front page of addons.mozilla.org or to one of the blog posts about the fxcup results then.

Comment 16

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Suggestion: Write a blog post on how successful it all was, and put in a redirect from the URL in question.

Comment 17

[Mary]

Guys:  Appreciate the solutions :)

We have a blog post - great idea.  I'll file an IT bug to get Firefox Cup to redirect towards it.  Gracias!

Comment 18

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I love how we suggested this precisely at the same second. Way to go, Wil! ^5
