Removal of Websites/Input Module

2017-11-09 Thread Michael Kelly via governance
Input[1] was a service for collecting feedback about Mozilla products. It was decommissioned in January and replaced with a redirect to an externally-run survey service. I just noticed the module for Input[2] was still around, and plan on marking it as deprecated since it's not really relevant any

Hi! Could you elaborate on why removing inactive subscribers is so important? I'm a little confused by the statement "anyone’s inactivity influences the delivery of all of our email programs". Is it a cost issue of sending out so many emails? Or is it that we can't properly measure the impact of

I think approving a module for Mozilla Communities Web Services would be a great low-cost way to support the community sites that we're already providing resources for. That this is just writing down a process that's already happening is a good sign for it's viability, I think. I also really l

Yo! I'm currently module owner for the Snippet Service, but over the past few months (after a team change) I've been directly involved with the codebase less and less. Giorgos Logiotatidis is the current active maintainer and only peer, and he's been driving most of the work on Snippets for a

Neat! A few questions: - What's a position statement? I just don't know specifically what that term means. :P - When you say "a topic others may find challenging", do you mean difficult to understand, or do you mean touchy/controversial? - Just to clarify, does any of this apply to controvers

Looking at the other items on the Privacy Notice, I notice (heh) that this lacks a very brief description of what tiles are and what they do, which would go a long way towards making it clear what exact data we're collecting and how often. Also, here's some questions that aren't answered by the pr

The issue of privacy vs. analytics is a complex one. There's a few different questions that need to be answered to justify Mozilla's use of Google Analytics. I'm just a lowly webdev who doesn't know too much about official stances and tech, but here's my take: First: Is it okay to track user ac
