#346 prepare beta websites for beta release 2012-11-06
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by shaiton.

The beta is planned for the 2012-11-06,
we need to create the correct branch, and set up transifex.

Need also to revert 319f0c8 on the beta branch before setting it to beta...


Started, still have to

  • Figure out what to do with the beta banner and the countdown (python Vs JS) − I always forget, need to see the log
  • Add the checksums
  • Check links
  • add the release counter banner
  • add all available language (on the counter, the menu...)

just pushed the release counter banners. Fixed a bit of other files.

Still have to

  • check that the banners (python and JS) are correct (python on the index.html for beta release banner, js for the counter that will also be on the index weeks after the beta release)
  • Add the checksums
  • Check links
  • edit the JS script to display the countdown banner correctly as in http://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/animato/ (CSS style to fix on static/js/release-counter-ext.js)
  • Add the f18 release banner

Everything should be ready now.
Checksums added (thanks nirik and Robyduck)
The countdown banner looks fine now, However we should check the html output of th JS code, in order to avoid breaking external websites.

It would be easier once the beta website would be released, as it has some hard links to http://fpo.
For the countdown banner, we need to check:
- It is showing the beta banner if there is no picture for that day (i.e. coutdown > 31 or 32)
- It should display the countdown nicely with great html/css code if we approach the release day
- It should display the release banner after
