727646 - [Firefox Beta] Add Learn More in the firefox beta page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: Firefox Beta page

Hi Laura, 

I have a couple of small tweaks for the firefox beta page. 

1. Add 'Learn More>' under the first box Test Features and link to the Beta Release Notes
2. Add 'Learn More' under the second box Refine and Polish and link it to the input page 
3. Copy tweak on the second box Refine and Polish. 
Where is says...File bugs to help us...
Update it to.. Give us feedback to help us...

I dont think we need any design request for this, hopefully just a copy tweak. 

Thanks!

Since this URL changes on a ongoing basis, I'm not sure if we have a way to automate updating this ever-changing URL (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/11.0beta/releasenotes/) so that it doesn't have to manually be updated during every release. Let's be sure to check with whoever develops this to see if there's a easy solution.

Providing the URL to every link you'd like to add/alter really helps out. Please provide that here. 

Also - I thought a SUMO page was going to be created to help house this information? Any updates on that? Let's try to be consistent here - a SUMO page seems like the best place to house this information, as we discussed before in Bug 716583.

Agree. Please answer the questions above and then we can work to get a dev resource for this.

Also adding Chrissie here in case she has thoughts or ideas on the overall UX as a "consulted" party.

- we have this now in the aurora page. How do we update that link?

input link: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback

- SUMO doesn't agree this is the right place either. hence I will just be pointing users directly to the feedback page.

Hey Fred - can you help route this bug? These are small tweaks to be made to the Beta channel landing page. Would be nice to have this for the 1.9 release that goes live on March 6th.

That's a question for WebDev - whoever gets this bug can perhaps let us know if this can be automated. Would be great if it could.

Looks like there is a persistent URL for Beta release notes: http://mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/notes/

This is (as far as I can tell) handled in the .htaccess file.

Excellent! Then let's use that. Thanks, Jon.

Excellent. I've got it all staged to go. As soon as commit access to the repo is available, I'll push it up.

Comment 7

[Grace Jimenez :grace]

Thanks John. 

Can you please confirm when the changes will be reflected in the page?


Thanks

I believe after QA passes, the changes will be pushed to production. I know the dev team is deep into the mozilla.org architecture conversion, so the QA/production push for smaller changes like this may be postponed somewhat.

James - can you shed any light on the timetables this week?
