Details

(Whiteboard: u=user c=wiki p=1 s=2013.23) 

On support.mozilla.org we are hosting news regarding Mozilla. Recent tracking shows that across all languages about 300 people a day on average click those links, that's a click through rate of less than 1%. It's unclear how many of those are intended clicks, where people actually wanted news and not support.

Creating those news takes time as it is done completely manually, on top of that localization has to be done manually as well. The effort that goes into hosting news on the support site seems hard to justify considering the numbers. I suggest that we remove news from SUMO because of that.

This would be a 1pt. We should make sure we delete the js we added for tracking news clicks as well.

Sounds good to me.
