Minutes of SUMO meeting 2008-10-13

Attendees: djst, zzxc, Cww, nkoth, myles7897

Sumo

  • Weekly metrics
    • djst has created a dashboard in Omniture so everyone in the team can look at the same data
    • Next step is to make sure that data is published automatically
  • Last week’s weekly support issues
    • Format has completely changed, new status fields.
    • Now focuses on getting info from Forums mainly rather than Hendrix.
    • How to get people to sign up?
      • Blog about it, and make sure the info on the page is as straightforward as possible — suggest creating a separate FAQ for the descriptions and explanations
    • How do we keep track of Policy on threads asking for more information
      • We could use one contributor forum thread per weekly common issue, to keep track of information gathering etc.
      • Alternatively, we could create a separate forum if these threads are taking over the contributor forum

Knowledge Base

  • KB metrics (Cww)
    • This is how we calculate the top KB articles. Just looking at the vote polls is not enough, as some articles are much more trafficked than others, skewing the data.
    • Have to look at what people search for, and normalize the score with the page hits.
  • Bugzilla: 1 new article request [1], 0 article bugs verified fixed
  • Going to send out survey to localizers this week
  • All top 15 articles in the Knowledge Base are translated into Japanese! SUMO is proud. :)

    • Yahoo logins not working for some people, seems to be related to Yahoo Toolbar

    • Strange Mac issues (fonts look wrong, gfx issues, window positioning wrong) fixed by clearing Mac caches.

  • Traffic down last week, percentage of chats answered up to 70%
  • New blog post about scheduling live chat hours, anyone who can help should add themselves
  • Live Chat CSAT: idea page updated, bug 458713

SFD

  • No more feedback. We should just pick a date and hope that we have the response that we need.
    • The focus is on localization, so we need to split up the day in separate shifts for the different regions (Asia, Europe, America)
    • Friday, November 21!
    • This means late Thursday PDT for the early Asian shift.
  • Who is best for making presentations? Current topics:
    • How to localize articles – cww?
    • Tips and tricks for keeping up to date on translations — cilias?
    • Localizing for Firefox 3.1
