Minutes of SUMO meeting 2009-09-21

Sumo

  • Weekly metrics
    • Start page bounce rate theory from last week: large increase in referrers from Firefox whatsnew pages.
    • CSAT score on Forum and live chat went up. Not sure why.
    • Top articles block was updated last week, to reflect top questions.
  • Last week’s weekly support issues
    • No new issues this week.
    • Something to look out for: 2 new pieces of malware. 1 causes Firefox to crash. 1 tries to steal data entered when you log into a bank site.

Knowledge Base

  • New articles: Crash when closing a Gmail tab, Bookmark folders
  • Contacted metrics team about what changes make the greatest impact to CSAT score. We may have a phone meeting this week. (Haven’t got to details yet.) [1]
  • Article for Facebook issues? [2]
    • What would we say? Clear you cache and cookies? Is that it? One Firewall is known to block a facebook script. If you see any more, post in the Contributors forums thread.
  • One article for crashes caused by malware?
    • If we have a more specific answer for any certain crash, in that case we can give it a separate article.
    • It would also be good to add a section to the Firefox crashes article, that says the most common cause of crashes is third party software (extensions, plugins, malware).
    • Might be a good idea to write a blog post helping contributors learn how to analyze crash stats.

Forum

  • User traffic in the Contributors forum could be coming from Google.[3] -cilias
    • After we switch to having pretty URLs for forum links, we can make robots.txt tell search engines to ignore the contributors forum.

Live Chat

  • Most common chat tags, no major changes in the past two months. (Crashes/hanging is still the most common problem)

    hello dear developers.
    I have a suggestion for Bookmarking part.
    you can operate a new online bookmarking part in the web. and then orchestrate this online service with bookmarking part of Firefox.
    it’s mean when a user adds / removes or … a bookmark in Firefox, added / removed or … bookmark in online service,too.
    this user can use his/her bookmarks in very where .
    for using this , user must have a account in online service.
    sorry for my bad English.
