This week:
https://stage.thunderbird.net/ is fully functional. I'd appreciate it if
people would go over it and see if they can spot any issues. Issues
anyone finds can be filed on github
https://github.com/thundernest/thunderbird-website/issues/new. There
are some changes from the mozilla.org site, most notably that the header
menu now includes a "Donate" option, the "Releases" link has been
renamed to "Beta" since that's what it leads to(for now), and the
"Releases" option now leads to a page that actually lists all of our
releases. Note that only the release notes for 52.* and 55.0beta have
been ported.
I'd like to get the 38.* and 45.* release notes posted before we go
live, but that should be the only blocker and I think the site is
otherwise ready. There are a bunch of nice-to-haves that the site still
needs, like Selenium tests, and some refactoring of the build process to
be less messy, etc, but AMO has a deadline that we need to meet.
Next week:
- Add the 38.* and 45.* release notes, and ping the mozilla.org webdev
team for a transfer date for the website, they'll rewrite from
mozilla.org/thunderbird to www.thunderbird.net.
- Better documentation for thunderbird-website itself, it's pretty
sparse right now.
- All the rest of next week will likely be spent prototyping solutions
for AMO.
This week:
* Wrote report on AMO, which necessitated review of the site and a
number of conversations.
* Fixed a large number of bugs on the website and with release notes,
details in thunderbird-website commits
<https://github.com/thundernest/thunderbird-website/commits/master>.
* Cleaned up and posted documentation for thunderbird-notes
<https://github.com/thundernest/thunderbird-notes>.
* Setup automation to rebuild the site when product-details or our
release notes have new commits.
