978716 - Update https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Monetization/App_pricing/ Payout_* subpages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Marketplace, defect)

Description

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

These sub-pages, one per countries, contains the following information:

Notes for Brazil

    Last updated June 13, 2012.
    R$ is the symbol for Brazilian reals.
    Exchange rate used in calculation for pricing: R$2.0354 per US$1.00.
    Brazil pricing is tax-exclusive. Users may have to pay Brazilian taxes on top of the price.
    Payout calculation: price paid x 0.70 for both credit cards and operator billing.

It is difficult to auto-generate these pages right now (we can't create a new page from Kumascript). 

So, first proposal: replace them by a table on the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Monetization/App_pricing page.

Content:
- Local symbol: this has to be hardcoded, and is an information we already need there: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Monetization/App_pricing
(Note that the local symbol is not necessary consistently used in a country: e.g. Swizerland has Swiss Franc, ISO-code: CHF, local symbol: F, CHF, Fr. or SFr. depending of the context.
- Exchange rate: this is currently hard-coded. How often does it change?
- Tax-exclusive/Tax-inclusive. Same data as the on the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Monetization/App_pricing page. We just need a process to get it added for new countries or updated (should be rare, except for the VAT rate where we can expect it to see 2-3 changes/year)
- Payout calculation: this is currently hard-coded.

I don't know if a bug is opened for the addition of new countries, if so, and the hard-coded information is in it, adding the dev-doc-needed keyword to it may be enough to drag our attention to update the info :-)
