2 questions.

1- Does the new site design meets the defined requests, corrects listed characteristics and fix the defined problems in
bug 326708: Poorly coded store.mozilla.org webpages

2- Does the new site design fix bug 305106 – Mozilla Store does not validate (invalid HTML/fails validation) and uses unsemantic mark-up

About the comments:

Steffen, I’m happy to say that the new Store will have Developer Kit posters, as well as t-shirts and stickers. All the Kit fans out there should be pretty well taken care of.

Gerard, I wasn’t aware of those bugs so I’m guessing they were not addressed (as Asa already pointed out). However, now that we have a better system in place for the Store hopefully we can make the necessary corrections in the future.

Thanks for your comments,
John

> I wasn’t aware of those bugs

All this is hard to understand and, frankly, quite disappointing. John, you have been assigned to both bugs on May 21st 2007 by Marcia K. How could you not know? I don’t understand

And frankly, how could a new redesign of the store webpage miss the obvious poor coding techniques (unsemantic markup code, about 100 markup errors avg. per page, table design, javascript-dependences, etc) in all the m.o. store webpages?

“Mozilla offers the best implementations of Internet standards.” … except in its store.

Gerard, I’m going to have to ask for your patience in this matter. I will do my best to address all the various store bugs, but our store is operated by a 3rd party vendor so doing so is not quite as easy as you might think.

I’m definitely not saying that it won’t happen, just that it will happen in stages. Right now the stage we’re in is trying to address the usability, design and merchandise selection, all of which was long overdue for a refresh. Once that is under control, I will work with our vendor on improving the technical details.

Thanks for understanding.

John
