• what download link should the SMS contain? direct to build? or -> /m/
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522973#c7

• format for download links?
  • ftp.m.o or download.m.o?
  • probably DMO. e.g. http://download.mozilla.org/?product=mobile-1.0&os=maemo&lang=en
  • What needs to happen to DMO to handle this?

• /m/requirements
  • doesn't actually name any requirements, besides supported phones

• index-later
  • how will locale selection happen for the SMS text functionality?
  • SMS functionality seems unfinished
    • text field not editable? no, just necessary to choose a country first, but not intuitive. text box could say "choose a country" or be hidden or have a more obvious disabled style. hard to tell it's disabled.
  • Mozilla.com/m link should be relative

• Platforms page
  • title should match the sidebar nav and the link to it
  • e.g. title should be "Other platforms and languages"
  • Where do download links go? Should be replaced with a locales table?
  • Replace desktop platform links with locales table
  • Uses Fennec in content

• developers page
  • Should link to desktop downloads

• Main download button?
  • e.g. mozilla.com home page

• Start off keeping release notes on one page?

• /m/ pages should be as light as possible
  • drop background sprites for page and download button
  • Urchin necessary?
  • Tracking JS necessary? Can we parse logs instead?
    • On the other hand, if it's loaded in the footer, it shouldn't hurt

Feedback from madhava

Caitlin asked me to have a quick look. Looks good to me! Just a couple of points:

- on mobile, we want those "rows" to be 6-7mm tall and defined as such (not in px, etc.) - a button for the "download" links would be good -- doesn't have to be strong visually, but useful to have a big tap target - I suspect the fonts should be bigger for readability without zooming on a mobile device, but we can check that out

- one longer-term thing -- it would be great to avoid a grid for all the OS versions on the mobile version when that becomes necessary. Could we do OS detection and just offer the right version instead? There's a use case on the desktop for wanting another OS version (deploying elsewhere, etc.), but less so on a mobile device, and it adds a lot of page complexity. Anyway, this is not an issue today, so don't let me hold anything up with that.

• How can we make download options clear and prominent? I'm thinking mostly about desktop visitors here, and thinking about all the times I've heard that a small tweak in a download button can result a change of millions of downloads. Text in a bulleted list can be very clear, but also text itself is easy to skim and skip over, while a good download button is clear and hard to miss. I think most of our early traffic will be desktop users going to /mobile/ who are looking to learn about FF-mobile and how to download it.

• If a user visits /mobile/ from an N900 (or future supported platform) I think we should detect that, and either have a download button ready, or forward them to /m/
