608328 - build new First Run & What's New promos for Firefox Live

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[John Slater]

The engagement team is going to be launching a new project called Firefox Live (quick summary: live streaming video of supercute red panda cubs) and would like to promote it on the First Run & What's New pages.

We don't know the exact launch date yet - will be sometime between 11/8-11/13. I'd like to have the promos built before then so we can push 'em live when the site is ready.

Design files are here:
http://intothefuzz.com/leetom/Firefox%20Live/PSD/

It should be added to the general rotation of promos in that slot. On What's New, it can replace the generic add-ons one.

Button link should point to:
http://www.mozilla.org/parks/firefoxlive (note - this page isn't live yet)

Steven, I'm guessing your team is pretty wrapped up with the site redesign stuff right now. Alex, do we have anyone in the internal group who can help with this? Should be a pretty quick one.

Thanks-

Checking back in on this. Alex or Steven, is this something either of you (or your respective teams) could work on? I think it'll be pretty quick.

Also, we have a more definite launch date now: 11/17.

Thanks-

If SO can't handle it, I'm sure we can find someone.  Craig, Jgrlicky, Wenzel, Les maybe.  Should be really quick.

We can take this - the promos look a bit larger than other promos in that area of the main page. Ok if we make them fit into the standard size during implementation?

Awesome, thanks. Resize them however you need.

These are done in trunk in r76865 and r76871.

John, you mentioned that "It should be added to the general rotation of promos in that slot. On What's New, it can replace the generic add-ons one."

FYI, the whatsnew page rotates through three promos: Thunderbird, Rock Your Firefox, Crash Protection (except on Macs). I've just added this promo to both firstrun and whatsnew and left the others in place.

That's perfect - sorry I wasn't more clear.

I'm marking the bugs to push today.  It doesn't exactly stand for anything, just a unique ID.
