752698 - QA Needed on new webmaker events platform

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: WebQA, defect)

Description

[Ben Simon]

We're building is an events platform for our webmaker initiative,
to allow users to:

a) create an event, collect rsvps & communicate with attendees
b) list a pre-existing webmaking event in our map/calendar
c) discover and RSVP for events created by others

Different pieces of this are in different stages of completion, which is
why we have not yet filed a bug. QA probably can't begin til later this week, but launch is currently scheduled for May 15th.

Existing documentation for where we are so far is below. Will chime in more on this bug as there's progress.

Thanks, Ben; a few questions:

1) Where we do file bugs in Bugzilla?
2) Which milestone should we use?
3) Who should we cc by default on the bugs?
4) Who should we assign bugs to?
5) Whom from IT set up the site and we can contact?
6) What critical features are "stop-ship" blockers?

Any other details as you begin to answer these would be truly beneficial as we do our best to turn-around testing.

[Ben Simon]

Not sure about all of these (I'd think Ross or Ryan are best-suited to answer the others), but:

 
> 1) Where we do file bugs in Bugzilla?

I don't think our webmaker site exists yet on its own; probably best bet for now is under websites --> donate.mozilla.org

> 2) Which milestone should we use?

I'm not sure. I don't believe it's on the normal mozilla.org release timeline. Ross, thoughts?

> 3) Who should we cc by default on the bugs?

Me, Ross Bruniges, Ryan Merkley, Michelle Thorne, and Erin Knight (the 5 who are on this bug).

> 4) Who should we assign bugs to?

Me, and I can reassign as needed.

> 5) Whom from IT set up the site and we can contact?

Ross Bruniges has worked a bit with David Ascher and Gozer to get the site up.

> 6) What critical features are "stop-ship" blockers?

The 3 mission critical functions at this stage are:
-Create a new event
-Add an existing event (so, get an eventbrite/lanyrd/etc event that exists already into our calendar)
-Find and RSVP for events

Let me know if there are any functions or uses that would be helpful to walk through.

7) Are any of you available in IRC?  If so, which channel(s), and can we commit to hanging out in #webmaker, for faster/real-time communication?

When online, we're all in #foundation, which would be fine to have this convo as part of it.

One factor worth noting is that Ross, who is leading the dev on this, is UK-based, so is normally only around for a couple of west-coast working hours.

Ben, when is this planned to ship?  What are the criteria for launch?  Thanks.

Comment 7

[Ben Simon]

We're hoping to go live today as a soft-launch, though Ross can chime in if that's still plausible. Remaining blockers that I know of are:

--Getting all the legal docs & language up on the site (we got final text yesterday evening) & updating privacy policy checkboxes
--Getting a frontpage of webmaker.org up

Of the three remaining bugs on here now, the posters are done but just need to be hooked up, it looks like the "auto-sent to main donate page" is actually fine, and I think the integer overflow is likely to be a won't fix.

Are there any other issues outstanding from your all's perspective?

Thanks so much for chewing through this so thoroughly -- it was really a sight to see.

Heya guys, 

So yeah as Ben says there are a few little things to do.

Ben - from my understanding the frontpage of webmaker.org in the state that we're looking to launch it is there. At the moment it redirects to events because that is all the site actually contains. This will change when we add in tools and projects in the future.

I've done the legal pages - looking to upload them to stage within the hour, hopefully the same for the posters if Chris can get us the stuff in time.

And I must second Ben's thanks - thank you all for being so thorough - hope it wasn't too painful a process for you guys.

From ours, no; we want to reiterate that we're not the gatekeepers here, just advisors of what we see, quality-wise.

We're happy to help when we can!  In the future, we'd prefer more development-complete lead time, but it looks like it worked out :-)

Cheers.
