Mozilla’s Support site (SUMO) provides around-the-clock help for 30 million users a month through thousands of knowledge base articles. We rely on the community to keep the knowledge base up to date with each release. While there’s growing interest in contributing to the knowledge base, there’s also a learning curve. Here’s where you come in.
Mozilla’s Support site (SUMO) provides around-the-clock help for 30 million users a month through thousands of knowledge base articles. We rely on the community to keep the knowledge base up to date with each release. While there’s growing interest in contributing to the knowledge base, there’s also a learning curve. We have training documents, but they’re lengthy and a hassle to work with. Here’s where you come in.


SUMO is looking for someone with an interest in storytelling, teaching, writing, design or video to help us transform our lengthy training documents into fun, interactive and effective training tools to empower new contributors who have a wide range of skills.
About this project:
You will learn the ins-and-outs of writing for the knowledge base, then design materials or tools to motivate and train new contributors. You will work closely with the content manager to survey contributors, determine learning objectives, and research, design and test tools or materials. Depending on your interests, tasks can include: building a course, creating training videos, storyboarding, writing UX copy for tools, designing infographics, and any other ideas you may have. You’ll also learn technical writing fundamentals, wiki markup and search optimization along the way.


You will work closely with Joni, the content manager, along with our community to brainstorm learning activities, create storyboards and outlines for training guides, design and research interactive and intuitive contributor tools, and write friendly and effective copy. Got additional ideas? We’d love to hear those too.
Skills needed to succeed:
*On the job or academic training in writing, design, marketing, video production, education, or a related field.
*English writing skills.
*Strong research and communication skills.


To get started:
To get started:
#Look through [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/improve-knowledge-base this page].
#Write a short article or tutorial on how to use a tool of your choice.
#Get in the mindset of a new contributor. Pick out what you think is important information from the page in step #1 and turn it into a mini tutorial (or an outline for a tutorial). This can be an infographic, video, slideshow, storyboard or any format of your choice.
#Send your tutorial to Joni Savage at jsavage [at] mozilla [dot] com.
#Send your tutorial or storyboard to [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/jsavage/ Joni Savage] along with an explanation.
