What is the UX branch?
Note: The UX Branch is currently reserved for Australis dogfooding. Only finalized and reviewed Australis patches to merge to mozilla-central should land here. Some of the info below doesn't currently apply.
The UX branch is a project branch for landing experimental UX changes before they are ready to land on mozilla-central. Developers can use this branch to gather feedback on un-reviewed patches and work with the UX team to iterate on UX design. After a final design is reached, patches must go through the normal review process before landing on mozilla-central.
Can I use my clone of mozilla-central to write patches for the UX branch?
No, this is not a recommended approach to working on the UX branch. You should instead clone the UX repository. While anything is possible, using mozilla-central to contribute patches for UX will introduce more work and increased chances of things going wrong. It's just not worth it ;-)
Where is the UX branch?
The hg repository is available at: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/ux
Nightly builds are available at: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-ux/
What are the rules for the UX branch?
- The UX branch is currently being used as a staging ground for the upcoming Australis feature set.
- All patches that land on the UX branch need to follow the same review process that patches destined for mozilla-central need to follow.
- When a patch for the UX branch is checked in, the bug's whiteboard should be updated with the phrase '[fixed-in-ux]' (minus the single quotes).
- You can refer to https://people.mozilla.com/~mnoorenberghe/australis/ for the Australis dashboard to see which bugs have higher priorities and the status of all Australis bugs. This site is recommended as it treats [fixed-in-ux] bugs as fixed, whereas generic Bugzilla queries won't.
What if I have questions?
You can ask for help in #ux on irc.mozilla.org.
