690794 - Link to roadmap on About page and clarify that not all features are ready right now

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect, P2)

Description

[David Boswell]

I got some feedback yesterday that the About page is confusing since it references features that aren't available yet.  Specifically:

'Want to find Mozillians in Auckland for a meetup? Need an expert XPCOM hacker to review a patch? That's exactly what this site is for.'

This references location and tagging features that aren't in place yet and people may be expecting to be able to do these things if this page mentions them.

Maybe this can be clarified just by adding a line under it with a link to the roadmap.  Something like:

'These features and more (link to roadmap) are being worked on right now.  If you'd like to help us with these, find out how to get involved below.'

Slight tweaks:

These features and others, like a link to the roadmap, are currently in development.  If you'd like to help us out with these, find out how you can get involved below.

I think I was a bit unclear with my sample in the original comment.  The link to the roadmap isn't a feature, but rather a link to a document on the wiki.  I just referenced it in parenthesis instead of putting HTML in the sentence.  So it would be something like:

<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozillians#Roadmap">These features</a> and others are currently in development.  If you'd like to help us out with these, find out how you can get involved below.

Heh, sorry about that. The line in comment 2 looks good to me.

Didn't catch this for 1.0.1 unfortunately. I'll add it in for the 1.1 release.
