Marketing Updates

IT update

  • New OS X builder
    • momo-vm-osx-leopard-05
  • Prioritized builders
    • nightly > comm-1.9.1 > l10n
  • Code Signing
  • mail-test.mozillamessaging.com
  • hg.mozilla.org still has reliability issues this week bug 511258
    • Some spurious bustage as a result
    • The bug is closed, but we are still seeing intermittent issues

Documentation

  • mostly off sick last week
  • good MDC usability discussion with a new extension developer:
    • cruft in search results (ie, Google) - not apparent that MDC is the most reliable doc source
    • MDC navigation issues - no page hierarchy, therefore breadcrumbs aren't useful and "portal" pages are hard to find unless you navigate from the main page
    • not obvious that MDC is a wiki and that people are encouraged to comtribute
    • following up with Sheppy
  • general MDC problems last week (per Sheppy's blog post)
  • continuing with tutorial / FUEL / STEEL / SMILE

Support

  • Top 5 GS Support Topics: to be filled in by Roland
  • Support Day: September 3, 2009, 9:30-5p.m. Pacific in #thunderbird and #gsfn (for meta & how to use get satisfaction topics)
  • Key Support stats from the following graphic:
    • will be higher in general, lower this week because we erroneously had link going to mozilla GS instead of MoMoGS for a few days
    • approximately 15 topics a day (I think after switching link to MoMo GS it will be about 20/day, lots of activity last weekend)
    • total new topics:69 total replies: 95 - means we are making progress in clearing backlog
    • #replies from non MoMo folks: approximately 30 (approximately 25 from Tom; hand counted since there's no way to get it easily)
    • researching better and more metrics e.g. number of new users
