Firefox/Input/Releases/4.0/Channels ReWork

Problems

• Input does not support the new Firefox Development Channels
• We're duplicating code by adding more dashboards (release & beta)
• We're adding more complexity by having different inputs per channel (release & beta)

Solution

1. Consolidate the release dashboard into the beta dashboard
2. Implement channels as a second part of the product selector.

This should reduce total coding effort in the present and future as well as make user comments searchable no matter what channel someone is on.

Feedback

• Mock

The Product selector should have the following combobox options:

• Product (i.e. Firefox, Mobile)
• Channels (i.e. Desktop: All, Nightly, Experimental, Beta, Release and Mobile: Nightly, Beta, Release)
• Version (i.e. Desktop: 5.0.0.1, 5.0.1.1, 5.1.1.1 and Mobile: 5.0pre, 5.0b1, 5.0)

Where each combobox is dependent on the one below it. This raises the question of what feedback types to show for each channel. Here is the following list of feedback types available for search depending on the channel selected:

• All - Happy, Sad, Idea, Broken, Report (nightly)
• Nightly - Report
• Experimental - Happy, Sad, Idea
• Beta - Happy, Sad, Idea
• Release - Broken, Idea

Themes

• Mock

We should take the opportunity to offer a channel selector here just like as in Sites.

Things to note:

• feedback types and platforms will need to be updated when a channel is selected.
• As with the current approach, themes should only be shown for only the latest build.

Mock - Use the mock mentioned in Feedback section above.

We'll need to add the channels selector here as well.
