Introduction
The Webmaker Product is made up of a set of web sites, REST APIs, web-based tools, and many node.js and browser JavaScript libraries. Users tend to think of it as the https://webmaker.org web site, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Communication
- IRC: The #webmaker channel on moznet is our primary dev channel. If you're new to irc, please see the docs on learning how to use it.
- Mailing Lists: There are two primary lists: webmaker@lists.mozilla.org for general Webmaker communication; and webmaker-dev@mozilla.org for developer communication.
- Bug Tracker: We use Mozilla's Bugzilla to track our work, see the Webmaker Product in Bugzilla.
- Blog: Updates about the development of the Webmaker Product go on our Webmaker blog.
Development
Like all Mozilla products, Webmaker is open source and open to community participation. Since its first release, Webmaker development has included students and non-Mozilla employees in all aspects of the project. We believe in community-based product development, mentorship, and the value of a diverse contributor pool. If you'd like to join our team of developers and designers, please see the Webmaker Dev docs.
There is also a weekly triage session to go over all open, unassigned bugs. For more information on this, please see the Webmaker Triage page.
Localization
Webmaker is for everyone, no matter where what language they speak. We're dedicated to shipping Webmaker in as many languages and locales as possible. In the fall of 2013 we shipped our first localized versions of Webmaker, and we're continuing to add support for more languages daily. Webmaker localization is done using Transifex, see the Webmaker Transifex Project. More details on how to get started localizing are available in this SUMO article.
