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
  • 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.
