792185 - redirect Sandstone and Brand Toolkit pages to the One Mozilla Style Guide

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[John Slater]

Now that the style guide is live, we don't need the Sandstone (http://www.mozilla.org/b/en-US/sandstone/) or Brand Toolkit (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/) anymore. We should instead redirect those URLs to the style guide.

The Sandstone page should point to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/websites/sandstone/.

The brand toolkit is a little more complex, but here's my recommendation:
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/platform/ points to [hey, this page hasn't been built yet, but the content is shown at http://mozilla.seanmartell.com/nothingtoseehere/index.php?directory=.&currentPic=5]
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/firefox/branding/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/channel-logos/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/firefox/channels/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/wordmarks/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/firefox/wordmarks/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/typefaces/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/communications/typefaces/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/artwork/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/artwork/gear/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/website/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/websites/sandstone/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/website/domain-strategy/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/websites/domains/overview/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/copy/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/communications/copy-tone/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/copy/l10n/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/communications/translation/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/copy/rules/ points to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/communications/copy-rules/
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/downloads/ points to www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/

That looks right to me, John, I'm just wondering if the last link, /downloads, should point to the assets repository instead. I can see it both ways. What do you think?

I had a similar thought, but went with the style guide b/c it feels more accessible to browse through and find what you need. Neither one has a single page with all the logos on it, so in the case of a tie I went with what seemed like the more user friendly option.

Mike, Steven - what are we thinking in terms of timing here? It's confusing having alternate style guides floating around.

Comment 4

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

Since the old sandstone page was never really intended for wide consumption, and only ever published behind the /b/ url prefix, I would propose we just drop that one without a redirect. I'll work on the rest today.

Sounds like a good plan - thanks Steven.

These redirects are in master and will go into effect pending a push to production and the resolution of Bug 800461.

I have removed the associated PHP pages (and images/styles) from SVN in r109871 (trunk).

[John Slater]

Thanks!

Comment 9

[John Slater]

When do we think this push will hit production? Just curious.

Comment 10

[John Slater]

Guys, when is this going to happen? This shouldn't take a month to get live.

Comment 11

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

This is stuck on Bug 800461. Anthony, can you follow up on that?

Comment 12

[Mike Alexis [:malexis]]

Steven, Rik, now that /b/ redirect for firefox/brand has been pushed to prod, anything we need to do here?

Comment 13

[Mike Alexis [:malexis]]

I see the redirects are turned on and working. Raymond verified in bug#800461 so closing this out.

Comment 14

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

It turns out the removal of these files from SVN (r109871 in trunk) was never merged to stage/production. Not harmful, but it is one more inconsistency between trunk and stage/production that can cause headaches when merging.

Pmac, can you merge this? I don't have the permissions to do it myself. If I try locally, I do get conflicts, but it's just the removal of files/dirs, so they conflicts should be pretty easy to "resolve". Thanks.

Merged to stage in r116402 and production in r116403.
