Sumo Development Update
UX
Roundtable
Please add your comments, questions and updates here.
- Welcome new forum helpers Eric_R and BlakeMoore!
- Welcome Rosana Ardila to Mozilla and the SUMO team!
- Rosana is our Community Program Manager and will work closely with our incredible support community around the world, as well as lead efforts to grow and strengthen our community x100. (No pressure!)
- Rosana is based in Berlin (born in Colombia) and has a background with
SunOracle, where she's worked on product marketing and management of the OpenOffice.org community. She has a Sociology diploma and is truly passionate about people. Her other passion is languages -- if you want to get in touch with her, there's a good chance you can do it in your native language as she speaks Spanish, English, German, French and Italian fluently. She actually just started to speak Portuguese, too; just give it a few weeks...
- In the last six months, Kadir has been doubling as both the SUMO community manager and the product manager of Kitsune, the underlying web platform of support.mozilla.org. With Rosana Ardila joining our team today, we can finally make Kadir's transition to Support Product Manager official.
- Kadir will be responsible for defining, prioritizing, driving and coordinating work with WebDev and UX to create a truly amazing support platform experience for both our users and our community on support.mozilla.org. Of course, just like every other person on the SUMO team, Kadir will still stay close to our community. In addition to using site and usage metrics, he will continuously engage in discussions and solicit feedback from our volunteers to prioritize our work on the Kitsune platform. He will also actively communicate about our work on the platform on the blog and in other forums to make our development process much more visible.
- Congratulations on the new role, Kadir, and for switching back to just one full-time job again! ;)
Firefox Status Update
Metrics
Knowledge Base
- The home page content experiment that Michelle led went live Friday evening. If this is successful, we should keep it running and update it for Firefox 10 as issues surface.
- The KB review sprint last week was a huge success. Thanks to Alice Wyman and Michelle Luna for helping me (Michael) review about
800080(?) items. Alice suggested that we do this regularly. Hopefully, this should be a one-time thing for reviews but we probably will need a regular sprint to keep up with the Needs Changes list every six weeks. - Follow up about article discussions hidden by default with the new sidebar. In the 10 days since we made this change we've gotten 2 helpful responses and 2 that were misplaced help requests or spam. In the 10 days prior to the change we had 3 helpful responses and 22 misplaced help requests or spam.
Mobile
Services
- Decision about BrowserID login in Sync is taking longer than expected. Decision about how to deal with 2 versions of Sync (Fx 10 ESR and Fx 14+) will come later in the process.

11:36 michelleluna: welcome to Eric_R and BlakeMoore to the forum helpers
11:37 michelleluna: thanks also to Matt_G for his input on taxonomy and tuning last week
11:37 michelleluna: announcing that topal: is now formally the kitsune product manager
11:39 michelleluna: ibai: is talking about 3.6 support content in the kb, now that 10 is coming this week
11:39 Matt_G: thanks for the shout out. Always happy to help :)
11:40 michelleluna: currently, the plan is to clean up kb as we go, and to clarify, FF10 doesn't mean the end of 3.6, we will have 3 more months to support it
11:40 michelleluna: Matt_G: you rock
11:42 michelleluna: on sumo 3.6 users are down to ...some percentage that I missed...but after we get to this 12 week mark, we'll take 3.6 out of the show for menu--but it will still work
11:42 verdi: 3.6 = 13%
11:42 michelleluna: cww: with a ff status update, 10 shipping tomorrow, he's working on a message with the summary of issues to send to contributors forum
11:44 michelleluna: discussing now the top viewed articles list
11:45 michelleluna: this new set of numbers is closer to the log data, so we have more confidence in the current list
11:46 verdi: Cww: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing?redirect=no#os=win&browser=fx9
11:47 Cww: verdi: so these are the numbers for kb/Private%20Browsing
11:47 Swarnava has left IRC (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 10.0/20120123235200])
11:47 verdi: Cww: so we have to add both private browsing numbers?
11:48 Cww: verdi: yeah, this will fade over time.
11:48 Cww: (I think it's set for a week, but maybe two)
11:48 verdi: Cww: any idea why scoobidiver created the redirect? Can I delete that?
11:48 Cww: I have no clue.
11:48 Cww: didn't it used to have this URL?
11:48 Cww: maybe it's linked from somewhere?
11:48 verdi: Cww: we've never changed the url of that article
11:50 Cww: verdi: really? that's surprising then. We've never had a link to /kb/Private%20Browsing
11:50 Cww: ?
11:51 verdi: Cww: I don't understand - what I'm saying is that it's always been /kb/Private%20Browsing
11:51 Cww: oooh, then what is it now?
11:51 Cww: what is the other private browsing like?
11:51 Cww: link
11:51 verdi: Cww: he made a new one called Private Browsing Redirect 1
11:51 Cww: with what url?
11:51 verdi: Cww: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing?redirect=no#os=win&browser=fx9
11:52 Cww: what's the old url?
11:52 Cww: those two urls (before the ?) look the same.
11:52 verdi: Cww: let's talk after this - I'm confused
11:52 Cww: verdi: I have 1:1 until 11
11:52 Cww: ping me this afternoon?
11:53 verdi: Cww: yes
