View source for About:mozilla/newsletter redesign

This page is tracking ideas for updating the HTML email version of the about:mozilla newsletter.

==Sample Newsletters==

===Compare and Contrast notes===

* Mozilla & You has clear date information.  It's not clear from about:mozilla newsletter when this was sent out (you can infer by looking at the Upcoming events section)

* Anchor links in about:mozilla are at top of the main column and push down content, but in Mozilla & You they are in the sidebar and leave more space in main content area.

* use of space -- right column mostly empty in about:mozilla

* an intro on mozilla & you (the about:mozilla subject line is basically an intro of that week's newsletter (eg, 'Why We Need Firefox, Community Phonebook, Reinventing News and more…') -- maybe worth revisting)

* lots of graphics on mozilla & you

* both have canned links (the about:mozilla ones should be updated though)

* amount of content higher on about:mozilla (fine but would require different design approach)

==Content Ideas==

===Calendar Information===

Calendar information is currently spread out in three different places -- there are two sections linked in anchors (Upcoming events and Community Calendar) as well as a Community Calendar section in the right column (which has a lot of overlap with other content).  Recommend consolidating this into one Calendar section.
