morgamic has promised to work on the last 0.1 bug [5] this week
According to morgamic, we should be ready to (try to) switch the Support link on www.mozilla.com to point directly to SUMO
This depends on getting a link up on the start page to guide people looking for support on other products to another page. (“Not looking for help with Firefox?”)
The server traffic will probably not change much with the roll-out of forum
The number of comments in the KB articles is about 30 per week, which means we’ll see at least that amount of forum posts, most probably more since forums are more targeted at support
The question is whether or not we will find enough people to handle the volume
Getting people to volunteer in the forum is probably going to be easier than getting people to write articles — just look at the ratio of forum answers / article writers at mZ
Throttling
We should start by linking to both the mZ forums and SUMO forums, to distribute the load until we get a better overview
Live Chat
Server ready by the end of this week
Some things can and should be done before that, e.g. verifying privacy policy (djst), test preparations (Lucy), etc
The forum launch activities link is 404
Dave: Thanks! Fixed now.
