708768 - Drumbeat links on contribute/areas.html are not optimal

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Josh Matthews [:jdm]]

There is a link to "project ideas" which goes to the projects page, but I think it would be really useful to link to https://www.drumbeat.org/en-US/about/ (either instead or as well) which has a much more understandable introduction of what Drumbeat is than the three sentence summary on the contribute page.

Mark, I'm CCing you because I have no idea who the correct contact is here for input from the Drumbeat folk and nobody is responding on #drumbeat. If you could ensure the right person sees this, I would appreciate it.

I'm not sure what the timing for Betafarm is, but I think when that goes live we'll fold Drumbeat contribution information into Labs contribution information on this page.  If there's a better Drumbeat link to use for now, I'm happy to update the page.

I think the link from comment 0 would be better in place of the existing "projects" one. You can get to the projects page from the other (it's clearly labelled in the second paragraph, I think), so there shouldn't be any information loss.

Changed to the About link in r98684.  If Mark would prefer the previous link or something else, feel free to reopen.
