=Mobile Web Evangelism= | |||
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 type of program for the Webkit-focussed mobile web. | |||
== | ==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== | |||
===Site Evangelism=== | |||
The focus of site evangelism is to work with companies and individuals to make existing mobile content functional on non Webkit based browsers, specifically Firefox for Android and Firefox OS. | |||
===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. | |||
