-Ten years ago, Netscape and Mozilla together put together a massive technical evangelism program to persuade an IE-focussed web to consider Gecko and other rendering engines. Today, we need the same thing for a Webkit-focussed mobile web.

-== Site Testing ==
+==Goal==
+The high level goal is to move Web producers (sites, tools, frameworks, etc.) from a Webkit centric approach to an open approach that works with non Webkit based browsers. This evangelism effort will specifically focus on Firefox for Android and Firefox OS.
+===Scope===
+* sites with mobile versions
+* tools and frameworks that are included in the development and production of mobile sites
+* Out of scope
+** partners with whom Mozilla is already engaged, for ex. companies developing apps for the Firefox Marketplace
+** changes to the Gecko platform (subject of another project)
+==Projects==
+===Mobile Web Compatibility===
+The focus of [[Compatibility/Mobile|Mobile Web Compatibility]] is to work with companies and individuals to make existing mobile content functional on non Webkit based browsers, specifically [[Mobile/Fennec|Firefox for Android]] and [[FirefoxOS]]. It is part of the wider [[Compatibility|Web Compatibility]] effort.
+===Developer Evangelism===
+To promote best practices to site developers and ensure that the tools and frameworks they use support non Webkit based browsers, specifically Firefox for Android and Firefox OS.
+===PR===
+This project has not yet been scoped. Ideas include a compatibility pr push and case studies for changing a site to function with non Webkit based browsers.
+===Documentation===
+To create/update MDN documentation for mobile development best practices and mobile specific topics.
+ Note: need to revisit this project to ensure doc links are up-to-date
+MDN needs to become the go-to destination for HTML mobile site development, just as it aims to be on the desktop, with information about all browsers. We particularly need authoritative articles on:
+* How to properly detect Desktop vs. Tablet vs. Mobile devices
+* How to design a web site to support a Mobile or Tablet device
+But also, our browser compatibility information must include the mobile web, and we need to make sure that angle is well represented in our writing.
+User Agent
+* https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference
+* http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/final-user-agent-string-for-firefox-4/
+* https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Browser_Detection_and_Cross_Browser_Support  (way out of date)
+CSS
+* any place that has summary of vendor prefix status?
+* some stuff on current prefix usage http://peter.sh/experiments/vendor-prefixed-css-property-overview/
+* {Bug 708406|https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708406} - Analysis of the use of vendor-specific CSS property prefixes on the web
+===Tools===
+To create tools to assist with evangelism efforts.
+* Site evangelism report: [http://arewecompatibleyet.com arewecompatibleyet.com]
+* Framework and tools evangelism report: [http://people.mozilla.org/~lmandel/arewecompatibleyet/frameworksandtools.html arewecompatibleyet.com frameworks and tools]

 == User Testing ==
-We need something like the "Report a Broken Website" tool which used to be in Firefox. It could be that [http://http://input.mozilla.com/ Input] is that thing, if it can be asked for broken website reports specifically from Mobile Firefox. However, currently, volumes of Input data from Mobile Firefox are pretty low, and that may be to do with access points and workflow - the only access point is XUL Fennec a "Give Feedback" button on the start page, which is not very mentally connected with a problem on a particular site. And the "include your last visited site" option is not auto-populated, so it's very unlikely that a user would type in a full long URL there from memory! I can't find an access point for Input in Native Fennec at all.

 A "Report Broken Web Site" menu item on the "Site Options" list, either in all versions of Firefox or in all of them up to Beta, might well get us more data. (Site Options doesn't yet seem to exist on Native Feenec, although one would assume something Larry-like will appear before too long.)
