'''This is page is under construction, do not share it just yet!'''
This is page is the place to learn how to start contributing to Firefox Mobile, also known as Fennec. We hope this page will help you become an active member of our community. If you're looking for other ways to contribute to Mozilla, have a look at Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/ global page] for new contributors.
== Contributing ==
Firefox Mobile is developed by a community of developers, designers, QA engineers, and more. We're currently focused on making Firefox rock on Android phones and tablets. We're always looking for new contributors to join us!
If you still feel that you don't know where to start after reading this page, feel free to ping us on IRC, we can probably give you some ideas. We're always looking for ways to improve this page to make it easier to start contributing to Firefox Mobile. Suggestions and general feedback are more than welcome.
=== Hacking ===
Setting up a development environment for Firefox Mobile is relatively easy. Just follow our [[Mobile/Fennec/Android|build instructions]] and you'll be ready to start hacking after a couple of hours—mostly waiting for everything to compile.
If you're interested in hacking on the UI bits of Firefox Mobile, the front-end team has prepared a list of bugs that are good for first-time contributors. Each bug report in this list has an assigned mentor (see "Whiteboard" field). The mentor will help you get the necessary information to understand the issue, point out relevant parts of the code to look at, etc.
=== Testing ===
If you want to help us finding issues on latest Fennec releases, a good way to start is joining the [http://quality.mozilla.org/ QA team] during the test days that focused on Mobile topics. Keep an eye on their [http://quality.mozilla.org/events/ events page] to know about future test days. However, you don't have to wait for the test days to start helping. Feel free to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=== Promotion ===Fennec report bugs] or to directly talk to us on IRC about the bugs you find. The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/bug_writing_guidelines bug writing guidelines] has useful information on how to file accurate bug reports.
