92457 - For more information about browser plug-ins at "Netscape Netcenter"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P2)

Description

[benc]

Mozilla 0.9.2
(probably all plats, but I saw it on MacOS)

I thought it wasn't called netcenter anymore.

Comment 1

[av (gone)]

Arun, what it should be called?

Comment 2

[Arun Ranganathan]

Good question.  I'm cc'ing Rafael Ebron for some answers.

Comment 3

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

It should be Netscape.com  

Comment 4

[av (gone)]

Attachment: first try -- patch to fix the problem

Comment 5

[av (gone)]

The fix is trivial and absolutely not posing any implications. Anybody cares to 
advocate it for 0.9.3?

Comment 6

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

I tried.  No luck.  Considering there's still plenty of stuff at Netscape.com
that refers to Netcenter and our AOLTW corporate site still refers to us as
Netcenter, we're okay to let this one slide till the next release.

Comment 7

[av (gone)]

I think it would make sense to create a meta bug on Netcenter --> Netscape.com 
issue and ask all module owners to fix this if applicable.

Comment 8

[benc]

I hope this is the last brand change. Probably a good reason these things need
to be overlayed only in the commercial tree.

Comment 9

[Peter Lubczynski]

I think this link should point directly to the Plugin Manager page at Netscape.com.

Andrei, you may want to coordinate with the l10n changes in bug 56863 with this
file.

Look at this URL: http://www.aoltw.com/about/companies/netscape.html I see no
'Netcenter' in there at all.  Perhaps they just updated that site recently.

Stephen, who would be an appropriate sr'er here?

Comment 14

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

I'm told by Shaver (and others) that SR isn't domain-specific.  Furthermore, I
presume since this is client code, it doesn't have to be looked at by someone in
Netscape.com's branding staff, as I'm pretty sure 'Netcenter' as nomenclature is
gone for good.  so, r=[e-mail] for the change (since it *is* a
simple HTML page and I did the same fix in bug 97680).  Blake or Joe Hewitt
could even sr=this, IMHO.

Comment 15

[av (gone)]

Looks like nobody is very enthusiastic in reviewing this. Moving to 0.9.5.

Comment 16

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Did you send mail via the traditional paths and cc: [e-mail]?

Comment 17

[benc]

+ marketing. they are the ones that probably care, or can find someone in
netscape.com (formerly netcenter) who cares.

Comment 18

[av (gone)]

This is more marketing rather than technical issue. Can we find more appropriate 
ownership? Moving.

Comment 19

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Fixed.  This had sr=[e-mail].

Comment 20

[shrirang khanzode]

yep, fixed on all trunk builds, 1113.
