Thunderbird/Support/SUMO Project Plan Thunderbird3

This page documents the tasks for SUMO for Mozilla Messaging's KB only (no live chat or forums because we use GS) aka "SuMoMo" deployment tentatively scheduled for November 2009 shortly after Thunderbird 3.0 ships

(not in any order, numbered for convenience)

1. create tracker bug (many of the following will be bugs under the tracker bug) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520628
2. decide on SUMO version, 1.4.?
   1. for now 1.4.0.1 with the _20091001 tag, done October 13, 2009 by gozer
   2. switch to 1.4.1 when ready, freeze on October 15th, tag when QA'ed
3. create staging web instance - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520875
4. create staging database instance - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520878

8. create initial SuMoMo content:
   1. Priority 1 - total 7 of which 3 need final editing, 1 in progress, 3 more to be written
   2. Priority 2 - total 4 of which: 1 done needs final editing, 3 more left to be written
9. create initial SUMO theme (minimal theme is to basically use web designer or agency e.g. Silver Orange or Royal Order to re-skin Fennec theme with MoMo graphics and throw in GS widgets and then get a Web Dev (or the web agency) to convert to SUMO theme) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522110
   1. initial theming is done, just needs to be pushed from trunk to stage
   2. some theme tweaking will be needed - estimate 2 hours
10. final configuration and testing
    1. test email templates say Thunderbird and Firefox
    2. vet configuration for any other Firefox-isms that have to be changed to Thunderbird
