These include user features like login\/logout, registration, and profiles.<\/p>\n<p>This represents a significant milestone and success for the <a href=\"http:\/\/support.mozilla.com\/\">SUMO<\/a> project, and is particularly meaningful to the development team. We&#8217;ve  been working toward this since January 2010, and seeing it completed is  an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year we&#8217;ve progressively replaced pieces of our old platform with new code:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In May, we took our first step by transitioning to new <strong>Search Result Pages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In July, we switched the <strong>Discussion Forums<\/strong>, and started authenticating users in both systems.<\/li>\n<li>In August, we turned on the new <strong>Support Forum<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n<li>In September, we added the new <strong>Army of Awesome<\/strong>, built very rapidly on the new platform.<\/li>\n<li>Just recently, in November, we brought the new <strong>Knowledge Base<\/strong>, the largest, and most complex part of SUMO, online.<\/li>\n<li>And with 2.4, we&#8217;ve brought over the last piece, <strong>User Accounts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This final step in the migration to Kitsune opens up a bunch of new  doors for features and improvements. For example, user registration is  much <strong>simpler<\/strong> now. We&#8217;re transitioning data internally to be <strong>more secure<\/strong>. The entire site is <strong>faster<\/strong> and puts a lot less load on our servers, meaning we can serve <strong>more traffic<\/strong> with the same hardware.<\/p>\n<p>We are especially happy we were able to complete this transition before the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/firefox\/all-beta.html\"><strong>Firefox 4<\/strong><\/a> release. Being entirely on the new platform gives us more confidence in  our ability to keep helping users even with traffic spikes from the  release.<\/p>\n<p>We devoted 2010 to investing in this new platform,  designed specifically to make it easier for our awesome community to  help 400 million Firefox users worldwide. In 2011, we&#8217;ll start seeing  the payoff of that investment, for our developers, contributors, and  users, and expect to see SUMO really take off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks ago, we released SUMO 2.4, completing a year-long project to replace the SUMO platform!
