Firefox3/Web Based Help System

Requirements

Client Side Requirements

These are the requirements for the parts of the system that will be part of FF.

  • Must be usable by extensions
    • extension help should show up just like "core" Firefox help.
      • but they should be able to look a little different, right?
    • extension help maybe on a server controlled by moz and should still be accessible
  • users must be able to give feedback on whethere a particular article was helpful.
    • it would probably be helpful to track people over time somehow too

Server Side Requirements

  • Must serve properly localized content based on browser's locale
    • if content for that locale is missing then serve the content from another locale (e.g. if fr content is missing serve de content. if de content is missing serve en content).
  • Content Management facilities.
    • must be easy to add, edit, and organize content.
    • full l10n and i18n support, ofcourse.
