== Advocacy and Regional ==
*'''Collecting information on popular sites in your local region'''
(Intro goes here)
**'''How you can help:''' Build lists of most frequently used sites in your country/region
**'''Skills required:''' Knowledge of popular web sites in your region
**'''Description:''' In order to ensure websites are working in Firefox all around the world, we build lists of the most popular sites in specific countries. The list usually starts by taking the top 100 sites for the region from a site like Alexa.com then asking volunteers to add and refine the list as makes sense. The list is used to perform automated compatibility tests for each site in that region.
**'''Get started:''' [[Compatibility/Countries|Check for your country]] to see if there is a top 100 sites list already created and start adding. Please leave your changes highlighted in another color so we can update the master lists. If you think a site on the list is not important for the region, leave a note beside it but do not delete it. If your region is not listed or there is no link for a top site list [mailto:compatibility@lists.mozilla.org?Subject=New%20top%20sites%20list%20request let us know] so we can add it.


*'''Translation'''
*'''Spreading the word'''
**'''How you can help:''' Many sites and tools built for Web Compatibility are only in English, your help translating goes a long way to bringing the effort to more countries around the world.
**'''How you can help:''' Talks, tweets, blogs, videos, handing out flyers on corners
**'''Skills required:''' Languages: English + more
**'''Skills required:''' Passion for a free and open web
**'''Description:''' Web compatibility is a global effort, that has sites and tools which should be available in multiple languages. Translating these can help others get involved, let site owners understand the reported bugs and help supporters spread the word.
**'''Description:''' The more users and developers are aware of web compatibility the better! You can post as small as a tweet or as big as a blog, we can use your help spreading the word.
**'''Get started:''' Check out the [https://etherpad.mozilla.org/webcompat-translate translation guide] to see where you can help.
