Marketplace/Contributing/Feb2015

Contribute to Firefox Marketplace

Firefox Marketplace is the only app store dedicated to providing content built with HTML5 standards and open source values. Help bring openness, freedom, and user choice to the world of app publishing—–it's easy to start contributing to this project. Join our mailing list to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the community.

Ways to make an impact in FEBRUARY

Below are featured opportunities for this month. This wiki has the full list of contribution opportunities. Be sure to self-report any contributions you make in the Get Recognized section below!

One and Done (15-minute tasks)

Don't have much time but want to do something to help Marketplace? Pick a simple task below:

  1. App translators & reviewers needed: Complete any app localization where there are still some untranslated strings. Please self-report on your progress, but be sure to play fair. Some apps have much more work (more strings). Right now, we especially need reviewers! Anytime you see a light green bar, but no dark green, that means the strings have been translated, but no one has reviewed the work. This is a best practice to ensure a good user experience. If you like to work on translation, sign up here to get a Transifex account

Guided Projects

Looking for a bigger challenge that requires more creativity and deeper involvement? A guided project can be fun and rewarding, and help you learn new skills:

  1. App authors should be able to specify open source license: Mozilla supports an open web, and believes that open source software is an important part of the mission. This feature allows developers who submit their apps to Marketplace to specify whether their app is open source. Mentored by AndyM
