Sumo

  • SUMO Day was a success!
    • Lots of people getting together in #sumo
    • Great feedback from localizers and community members
    • Helped increasing the awareness and engagement within the Mozilla community
    • Lots of fun while doing it :)
  • Performance status [1] via e-mail from Laura:
    • Solved the include loop problem that caused the netapp to panic. We'll get that into testing. [2]
    • Working on the database layer rewrite, basically done with the PDO aspects [3] [4]
    • Need to chat with oremj about the load testing and see how that's looking [5]
  • Weekly metrics [6]
  • l10n freeze for in-product -- need to announce and provide diffs and instructions for localizers
    • cilias will help providing a list of diffs; djst will post announcement
    • Next step is to focus on localizing the UI. Received feedback from several localizers requesting a simple way to translate all strings in one single text file; should make that possible.

Knowledge Base

  • SUMO Day was a huge success for the Knowledge Base
  • Bugzilla: 5 new article request bugs [7], 3 article requests fixed [8]
  • New How to Contribute page [9] targeted more towards new or potential contributors
    • Contributor Home Page to become more of a portal for experienced contributors, with more info aimed towards helping people help
  • 185 total contributors (67 new) when counting all locales

Forums

  • SUMO Day didn't affect the forums much. We might have done a poor job of promoting it, and between the two direct user support offerings (forum and live chat), live chat was framed as the more interesting of them.

Live Chat

  • Sumo day went well, not a lot of new contributors, but a handful of good ones who are already involved with the community; let's hope they stick around
  • Status update - The queue timeout issue has been fixed. Chase directed me to a setting I hadn't seen before. Users should now be able to wait in the queue for 10 min before being redirected. The average wait time should thus make a big jump next week, and the number of unanswered chats should drop (comments added to those fields on the spreadsheet)
  • Will publicly add a new "trial" shift for European times, 10am PDT to 12pm PDT (19:00 - 21:00 CEST), though users looking for help at this time seem to be North Americans, will see if this changes
