Marketplace/Reviewers/Apps/Guide/Onboarding

Selection and Onboarding session scheduling

Every month or so we introduce new reviewers onto the team. How many new people, or how frequently we do this depends on how much help we need (if we have nothing to review, we'll be wasting your time!). Which volunteers we select depends on what kind of skills/languages/equipment is most lacking (e.g. if we expect a lot of new apps in French then we might focus on French speaking reviewers)

Gaining Access to the Reviewer Tools

The reviewer tools are inaccessible to normal Marketplace users so a member of Marketplace Staff must first add your account to the App Reviewer group. Once you have the appropriate permissions, and after logging in, there will be a link to the review queue(dev)|review queue in the footer of the homepage. The Reviewer Tools start page(dev)|start page has information about queue and review stats.

Shortly before your new reviewer onboarding video session access will be given to the development server so you can practise with the tools in a safe environment.

Onboarding session on video (vidyo)

If we've invited you to a session then we'll send a link to a videoconference via a program called Vidyo. The session runs for approximately 1 hour.

The agenda is roughly:

• Intro everyone, share how you got involved with Mozilla
• What is Marketplace? Why is it important? Why review apps?
• What we expect from volunteers
  • Provide feedback on tools, process, and documentation
  • Learn the guidelines
  • Contribute at least a few reviews per week
  • May not be able to review many apps now due to lack of fxos devices (sorry!)
• What are we checking for in app review? Review criteria
• Walk through tools. Queue
• Walk through reviewing an app
• Incentives
