Thanks Steven. Just to get it on the record, the goal is to get this page live by 9/30.

Appreciate it!

Major known issues to complete:

 * IE testing/fixes
 * Fix up newsletter form on home page
 * Figure out breadcrumb nav
 * Create small-screen-friendly alternate CSS
 * Setup browsable stage site for testing (Bug 598300)

Re breadcrumb nav, I think finding a reasonable temporary fix is fine and we can discuss later a real fix that takes into account how we'll code the new sub-page design.  Latest versions of the designs can be found at:

Now that Bug 598300 is fixed, we can browse the branch for the new site at http://kildare.stage.mozilla.com/

The front page news isn't showing up at that address as the cron job to grab the news feed isn't running there. Might need a separate bug for that.

Made another round of updates that should have the breadcrumbs, most IE issues, and front-page newsletter form addressed.

David, we should be ready for some testing and feedback now.

Note that the  front page news isn't showing up at that address as the cron job to grab the news feed isn't running there yet.

I've started posting feedback on the wiki at:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla.org/HomepageRedesign/Coding_Notes

I'm happy to make these bugs if it's easier to track that way or we can just strike things out on the wiki as they are addressed.

Pinging for an update for when we'll have a chance to look at fixes to the issues found during the review.

Hey guys,

Steven, FYI - there's an updated file w/ revised promo styles in there.

Let me know if you guys have any problems/questions with the files.
Thanks!
