sancus

• Added the features, channel, organizations, and all build download pages on https://stage.thunderbird.net/en-US/
  • Download buttons added for all languages and platforms.
  • Found a CDN (for website) that should work and won't cost hundreds per month, testing Cloudfront.
  • Next: remaining two items to get this up on thunderbird.net are release notes and language rewrite code
  • A few URLs are broken and the site needs a final polish pass after notes/language rewrites are done.
• Started researching how to set up AMO and determining whether this is even realistic, will be another couple weeks before I have anything to report.
• Want to use New Relic synthetics for testing the website and the only services in place of Site 24x7, probably would take 1-2 weeks to set up.
