Design Contribution

The Webmaker Design team welcomes contributors. We want your ideas and your craft, and in return we offer a community of mentorship as well as the ability to contribute to a project being used by people around the world.

• Here's a list of good first bugs for design contributors.

If you have a bug that would be good for designers to tackle, here's our current working process:

• File a bug and tag the Whiteboard with [goodfirstbug] & [design]
• Also assign a Mentor by adding an additional Whiteboard tag [mentor=???], replacing "???" with someone's name. If you're not sure who to put as a mentor here, you can use Cassie or Kate.
• When someone wants to take the bug, they can simply assign it to themselves if it's not taken already, or flag the mentor named in the bug for more information.
• Design work will need to be submitted for a Design Review before it can be implemented. The mentor can provide this review.
• Once design review is R+, the mentor can help loop in a dev to get the work implemented or follow up with user testing – whatever is the appropriate next step.
• Any questions or getting stuck? Email Cassie at cassie at mozillafoundation dot org or jump into #webmaker on IRC and ask anyone there.
