This is a planning page for what we want to do with the mozilla.org/contribute section in 2011 to make it a better portal for contributors. The work done in 2009/2010 was a good step but we need to further evolve this section to make it more useful.

Phases

Some thoughts on a phased approach to expanding and improving these pages.

Phase 1

Problem: The current main page is not very effective as a landing page for the Get Involved section -- it throws a lot of information at a user, it is locked into one view on how people want to find contribution information and it limits our ability to promote a range of opportunities.

For reference see: The Anatomy of a Perfect Landing Page

Tasks:

  • Add a new landing page
  • Move existing mozilla.org/contribute page to an Area of Interest sub-page

Timeline:

  • Live by end of Q1

Phase 2

Problem: One of the key ways people can get involved isn't represented currently. We should add information about how to plug in to local communities around the world and we should provide a place where we can promote exciting things going on in different regions.

Tasks:

  • Create sub-pages for Europe, Asia, Africa and Americas communities

Timeline:

  • Live by end of Q2?

Phase 3

Problem: The current Get In Touch form has been shown to be a promising way of getting people who want to contribute to introduce themselves to us, but there are many improvements we can make to this system to improve the experience for the user and to make it possible for us to handle responding to the inquiries.

Tasks:

Timeline:

  • Live by end of Q2?

Phase 4

Problem: The current pages are in English only and are not easily localizable as is. We'll need a strategy to localize these pages that takes into account how contribution options change in different locales and is not just a translation of the English pages.

Tasks:

  • Localize some or all of Get Involved pages into ??? locales?

Timeline:

  • Live by end of Q3?
