Ways to make an impact in OCTOBER
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:
- Test and rate apps on Marketplace
- Go to https://marketplace.firefox.com on your mobile device and find an app with fewer than 10 reviews that interests you.
- Install and sample the app. If it's broken or has mature or unsafe content, use the "Report Abuse" button to notify the app review team.
- Rate and review the app by clicking the "Write a Review" button. See Tips
- Fix MDN links for Marketplace documentation: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1082657
- App localization review: (Free Transifex account required): Review 100% of all strings in your local language for any app that's listed in the Firefox App Localization project on Transifex. We continue to need reviewers of Bengali/Bengali_bd/Bengali_in apps. Also, there's a need for translation reviews and translators for apps in dozens of languages, and many are easily "one and done."
- App translation: 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). If you like to work on translation, sign up here to get a Transifex account
Guided Projects
Looking for a bigger challenge that requires more creativity and deeper involvement? A guided project can be fun and rewarding, and help you learn new skills:
- First-time code contributions: tinker with Marketplace code, and get some guidance too!
- NEW! Step-by-step slides and video on how to contribute to front-end Marketplace bugs: http://andymckay.github.io/presentations/contributing-marketplace
- More documentation: http://marketplace.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/contributing.html
