Excellent. So great to see this work in motion with so much clarity.
Notify @HPaulJohnson if we need to communicate anything different to users. Right now, that doesn't seem like the case.

+1 excellent to have this comprehensive list!
Just though of another thing we need to make a decision on while we deprecate things.
Each make type generates a default thumbnail specific to the tool.
For appmaker it is https://apps.webmaker.org/images/app-icon.png
For thimble it is https://webmaker.org/img/thumbs/thimble-grey.png
For popcorn maker it is https://popcorn.webmaker.org/resources/icons/fb-logo.png
Goggles doesn't seem to even create a thumbnail...
The decision we have to make is how to not break these links for the large number of makes that use them, or we figure out how to replace them.

Good catch. We should figure out how valuable those old thumbnails are before we make a plan to rescue them.
I'm not sure I understand. Why wouldn't we keep these?
If it requires many hours of work, then it might not be worth it for projects on retired tools. Will there still be an explore experience for popcorn maker? Or will these projects just be listed in a user's own list of projects?
Just my 2¢.
As far as I know, the only way to access old makes will be through the soon to be completed teach.mozilla.org/me
page. I thought popcorn.webmaker.org
was going to be shut down?
@cadecairos - you are correct. Do we not need those thumbnails on the teach.mozilla.org/me page? If not then I agree we can scrap them.
Moving to Jan milestone, since this is still in progress
Here's a quick update:
We're waiting on a RRA (Rapid Risk Assessment) for Goggles, so that Moco will be okay with updating DNS for goggles.mozilla.org (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230666) It should be happening the week of Jan 4.
Once that's done, we'll be able to move beta.webmaker.org to webmaker.org.
We also still need to work on shutting down appmaker.
@cadecairos update? [flagged!]
EDIT: wrong boog
RRA scheduled for Friday next week.
Work continues as p2
techical nit: goggles, unlike some others in the list, isn't getting decommissioned, it's simply been relocated and only the webmaker.org/goggles location will go away, so for point 11 we need a bit to inform currrent users to go use the new bookmark on goggles.mozilla.org instead
We can take out the "Modify Github repo and readme to note that it's been decommissioned" entry, as this does not apply, and things like "Disable saving new content" should really be "Disable saving content using the library from webmaker.org" (saving with the new library is 100% a-ok)
This is ongoing work. I'm going to track this in this repo slightly differently in the future as a standing devops ticket.
@simonwex - is this ticket still useful? Is it up to date?
