Maybe another route to trial this would be to use our product announcements feature since it can be much more targeted. I would not be wholly comfortable at this point to use the snippet real estate (if I was reading the original request), especially for our GA audience.
I also think we should think about the goal here - which I think would be to expand the volume numbers of each of these groups and not necessarily move current users to other products (although I do understand the rationale prompting this suggestion, generally around to lower friction level to try less stable software). If we are agreed on the above, perhaps it is also a discussion to get our marketing friendlies and contributor engagement folks with an objective to target and capture new users for these channels.

These users might be receptive to a channel upsell message to get an even bigger version number. :) --- Johnathan Nightingale VP Firefox Engineering @johnath _______________________________________________ dev-planning mailing list dev-plann...@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-planning _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
