Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

I read somewhere that Mozilla wanted 1 million programmers to edit the firefox source code, but editing the firefox source code is really hard.

I want Mozilla to: - mention in bold that you don't need to read all the firefox source code to edit it - have a list of requirements with links to learn them or to buy books to learn them - even though we don't need to know all the code, give us a firefox source code overview - give us a link inside the code with a label "learn to edit the source code in the firefox repository at " and the url - give all add-on authors the same link - give us examples of what we're going to edit - while skipping what doesn't matter to edit, finally explain us the firefox source code
