Contribute to Firefox Marketplace
Firefox Marketplace is the only app store dedicated to providing content built with HTML5 standards and open source values. Help bring openness, freedom, and user choice to the world of app publishing—–it's easy to start contributing to this project. Join our mailing list to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the community.
Ways to make an impact in DECEMBER
Below are featured opportunities for this month. This wiki has the full list of contribution opportunities. Be sure to self-report any contributions you make in the Get Recognized section below!
One and Done (15-minute tasks)
Don't have much time but want to do something to help Marketplace? Pick a simple task below:
- App translators & reviewers needed: Complete any app localization where there are still some untranslated strings. Please self-report on your progress, but be sure to play fair. Some apps have much more work (more strings). Right now, we especially need reviewers! Anytime you see a light green bar, but no dark green, that means the strings have been translated, but no one has reviewed the work. This is a best practice to ensure a good user experience. If you like to work on translation, sign up here to get a Transifex account
