	THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT

These instructions assume you are updating Firefox, the current version is 3.0, and the new version is 3.1. Substitute as appropriate. When releasing a new version of a product, there are several bugs that are filed under Websites::www.mozilla.com:

• Create firstrun page
• Create whatsnew page
• Create releasenotes pages
• Create localized in-product pages

Update product-details

• Follow the directions in the top of the class
  • When you commit this change, make note of the revision

Update mozilla.com

• Find the bug holding the firstrun content and place it in /en-US/firefox/3.1/firstrun/index.html
• Find the bug holding the whatsnew content and place it in /en-US/firefox/3.1/whatsnew/index.html
• Find the bug holding the releasenotes and place them in /en-US/firefox/3.1/releasenotes/index.html
  • Make sure these pages conform to our template, use PHP headers/footers, and validate!
• run `svn propedit svn:externals` and change the product-details external to whatever revision you just committed

• Have QA look at the staging site with your changes
• Once QA is happy, merge to production
