It’s been a really exciting couple of weeks!

First of all, we welcomed two new members to the MLN Product team. Long time Mofo Pomax has taken the lead on transitioning X-Ray Goggles to a new home and Kristina, our newest designer, has had a productive first couple of weeks, focusing on creating wireframes for our badging platform. Welcome to the MLN product team!

Second, we released the new Thimble! It’s been really well-received (my favorite example is this Polish article – I ran it through a translator), and feels like a major step up from the last version. Be sure to watch Humph’s demo from last Friday. This release represents months of work. Read about it here.

We also added the care and feeding of the MozFest site and schedule app to our list of projects. Mavis wrote a script to export the 400+ session proposals into a github repo, where event staff and Space Wranglers are now working their magic to create an amazing program. Also in MozFestLand, Ryan Pitts spun up a version of the SRCCON schedule app for MozFest, and it works beautifully. We have some UI and UX changes to make (to make it more MozFest-y), but this will be a great resource for attendees.

On the teach.mozilla.org front, Sabrina has made major headway on the design for the MLN Directory. We’ve now got streamlined, mobile wireframes for the member profile and the Clubs page.

For editing your Club page on the go!

Mavis installed Optimize.ly which allows us to run A/B tests on teach.mozilla.org. Our first test compared the control homepage, which has three CTAs, to a variation which has a single CTA (Pledge to Teach the Web). So far, the single CTA does not seem to create a dramatic difference in the number of people taking the pledge. We’re plotting two more variations for the next heartbeat, to see if we can increase our conversion rate.
