| Support GitHub Logins in Taskcluster
| <s>Support GitHub Logins in Taskcluster</s>
| [https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster Taskcluster] currently supports logging in with Auth0, the Mozilla login system.  We would like to make it useful outside of Mozilla, and most other users do their development on GitHub, making GitHub logins a good solution.  This project would involve adding support for signing in with GitHub, as well as the more challenging task of assigning appropriate permissions to users based on the setup of their GitHub account.

| We're receiving requests for mockups already; thank you! However, to best give students the flexibility to design their own implementation we don't have these at least at this point. Nevertheless, to illustrate what might make a good proposal, we want you to imagine what would be a convenient way to schedule downloads. There are many ways we could do this: Copy-pasting download links, have the app opened whenever a link is clicked, or find a way to give other third-party apps access to your App's download queue. As we approach the project start date we expect to have this better laid-out, but we look forward to hearing your ideas.
| We're receiving requests for mockups already; thank you! However, the core of this project to me is the downloading library rather than the App. To illustrate what might make a good proposal, we want you to imagine what would be a convenient way to schedule downloads.

I would also encourage candidates to differentiate onself by focusing on demonstrating your understanding to Android Apps and download protocols. Brainstorming for more use cases is encouraged but we would really like to learn more about how you can implement this project efficently instead of what you can plan in your proposal.
 
Also, we're utilizing the Mozilla Asia Product mail-list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla-asia-products) for discussions around this project. You might find some useful discussions there as well.

| Writing docs for Firefox's in-tree [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/ source docs] is time consuming and difficult and the end result is difficult to navigate.

Writing docs for Firefox's in-tree [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/ source docs] is time consuming and difficult and the end result is difficult to navigate.


With [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ MDN] de-prioritizing build and workflow docs, we need a suitable replacement for all of Firefox's contribution and workflow documentation. The great advantage of documentation living in-tree, is that it can be updated along with the source. Unfortunately the current system to build and generate docs is difficult to write for, slow to build and generates poorly organized documentation. These factors discourage developers from creating or updating docs.
