It would probably be best to file them in phabricator for improved tracking
of the bug reports:

Greg, thank you for the update. Now would be a good time to correct the
faulty information that's on the main page of the new website in the "Key
Information" section.

I have several more pointed thoughts, but I think that those comments would
further alienate WMF people and you/they would react to my comments by
being defensive instead of improving, so I'm stopping here for the moment.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New Wikimedia Foundation website has soft launched!

2018-08-10 Thread Nathan
Mike, the "soft" part of the launch is that it is available only in
English, has not been heavily promoted and every link and reference
elsewhere has not been transitioned. This info was in Gregory's initial
post about the soft launch on the 1st.

Huh? it’s already been live at https://wikimediafoundation.org/ for the last 
week or so - that’s not a “soft launch”, that’s a full launch (maybe without 
the trimmings).

Should I repost the comments/bug reports I sent to wmfcc-l last week more 
publicly?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New Wikimedia Foundation website has soft launched!

2018-08-10 Thread Gregory Varnum
Hello,

Thank you to everyone that has sent in productive feedback and bug reports! In 
the interest of having this conversation more transparently and succinctly, we 
have answered a number of questions on the talk page of the Meta-Wiki page for 
this site:  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_website

We will continue to monitor feedback, address bugs during soft launch, and let 
you know when the translations are in place and we are ready for the full 
launch of the site.

Again, thank you all for your patience during the soft launch of this site.

-greg
