Support/Goals/2011Q3/Identity Documentation
Summary
The goal for Q3 is to support the Identity team to have the support materials (i.e. KB articles), customization of SUMO site, in product help content, etc. ready for the public launch of Browser ID in Q4.
BrowserID is the first product launched as part of the Identity initiative.
The SUMO team with the Product team have decided that the support content for users using the feature will be included on the Firefox Help website (support.mozilla.org). After reviewing the use-cases, we haven't identified any special needs that required additional development or customization of our existing SUMO platform.
Together with the Product team we have decided to use SUMO as the canonical resource for support content. This means that we will map support from BrowserID product and websites to SUMO. This needs to happen as part of the re-branding that will happen in Q4.
Team
Who is working on this?
- Goal Manager: Ibai Garcia
- Lead Developer: Ben Adida
- Product Manager: Dan Mills
Team list should make it clear who to ask about what, and who to ping when they're needed.
Goals
- Support the Identity team in the launch of BrowserID.
- Draft, write and review SUMO articles to cover the most likely support cases of Browser ID.
- Set up an easy access to the content so beta users can find the information after the launch.
What needs to be done?
As covered in the previous section, the expected issues have a simple solution, easy to document. Because of that, the focus of BrowserID support is documentation with a path to the forum. This way users will ask related questions and we can gather understanding of other issues.
Some of the issues will perceived as issues with the website implementing BrowserID. To help users in this situation we are working in the connection of the final UI of BrowserID with SUMO through In Product Help and links.
In order to finish the SUMO documentation/articles, the BrowserID team needs to close the UX/UI of the Add-On and the branding. Because of it the following tasks need to be performed after the rebranding and launch of BrowserID in Q4.
Launch - BrowserID ramp up:
- Content creation (Blocked by launch of the new UI)
- What's BrowserID? - How does BrowserID work?
- Issues with BrowserID
- Point BrowserID site to SUMO (Blocked by the launch of the new UI)
- Tag Forum questions accordingly (Was blocked by the definition of the final naming and branding. Waiting for Marketplace changes at SUMO to apply changes at the same time)
Second Phase - BrowserID popularization and other Sesrvices:
- Identity Support Home Page
- Refinement of forum tagging (i.e. Sign in to browser, etc)
- Integrate SUMO content in BrowserID site through API: BrowserID will be the initial customer of the upcoming SUMO API (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Support/Kitsune/SUMO_API)
Potential Issues with BrowserID
This is a list of potential support issues with BrowserID and their respective proposed solutions/workaround.
Issues perceived as website issues
- Sign in button does nothing.

- Use "I forgot my password" to recover your password.
- If it doesn't work, try to create an account again.
- Email confirmation not received
- Check Spam folder in your email account
- "I forgot my password" doesn't send password
- Check Spam folder in your email acount
- How to use a different identity
- Log Out and log in with a new email address.

- One of the email address in my account is not mine.

Non-Goals
- This project doesn't aim to cover every possible issue but to have an initial collection of articles before the official launch.
