630989 - [One Mozilla] Update Bugzilla to new workflow for Firefox product site under .org

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[David Boswell]

Opening bug to track any changes needed in bugzilla components as part of the upcoming merging of www.mozilla.com and www.mozilla.org.

Comment 1

[David Boswell]

Moving back to original component -- there is no action to take here yet.  We need to sort out what needs there are, if any, relating to merging the sites.

Laura,

Closing for simplicity, tracking bug 610724 for following along.

Best,

Reopening for GPHemsley, assigning to GPHemsley.

Note that this bug is about management of bugs after the merge.  If there's no www.mozilla.com site, does it make sense to still have a www.mozilla.com component?  Do we want bugs about Thunderbird pages, Firefox pages and other content on www.mozilla.org all to be handled in the same www.mozilla.org component?

There's nothing I can do about this bug. Not sure why it was assigned to me.

This bug is intended to track the merging of the www.mozilla.com and www.mozilla.org components on BMO.

It really should live in bugzilla.mozilla.org > Administration.

We should get Laura's input here. It's probably fine to continue using "mozilla.com" for a little while but it'd be nice to eventually move everything to "mozilla.org".

Before we merge anything in bugzilla, I'd like to let things settle with the new site for a bit so we can determine exactly how big the new mozilla.org actually is. My guess is that we'll need to slice the bugzilla components more thinly than just one big one for mozilla.org. 

(So, basically what James said, with the added note that it may not be as simple as just one mozilla.org component.)

I didn't mean to close this before, my page had a bunch of fields wrongly set, sorry.

That makes sense.  I had just set this up a while ago as a tracking bug so we'd have a place to discuss at some point.  Feel free to close this one and open a new bug or do whatever makes sense to sort this issue out.

I agree. I think Mozilla.org will be better off as a Product, given that we have many different sections with many different owners: cbrodigan for Firefox, sancus for Thunderbird, dboswell for community-oriented stuff... I'm sure the list is much longer.

And there's also the issue of L10n, which is being covered in bug 556236. Since the merge of Mozilla Messaging, I've been getting l10n-related e-mail that I might not necessarily want as a follower of the www.mozilla.org component, simply because everything is filed in the same place. That is just going to get worse as time goes on and things get merged in, I think.

Laura,

Renamed this bug and assigning to you. How would you like to approach our Bugzilla workflow for mozilla.org/firefox (formerly .com) in the coming weeks?

Best,
CB

[mcbmoz]

Laura, pinging you on this one. Any thoughts before the merge takes place?

Comment 13

[Laura Forrest]

I agree with Comment 10. Make Mozilla.org the product, and then have different components within that. But I'm no Bugzilla pro...

Comment 14

[David Boswell]

I think there's some value in staying in the Websites product since that's a natural place for people to look when filing bugs or looking for bugs to fix.

Another possible suggestion -- stay in the Websites product but have the following components:

* www.mozilla.org
* www.mozilla.org/firefox
* www.mozilla.org/thunderbird

Very strong +1 for this - I think it's very important to maintain separate components for the different areas of the site. Otherwise things will get messy.

+1 for mozilla.org/firefox

I also think this will be super useful in keeping things clear for community members. 

OK to do this Laura!

Looks like a dupe of bug 681762 now.

Comment 18

[mcbmoz]

Closing as resolved, file under www.mozilla.org/firefox for future.
