Be part of the new mobile OS from Mozilla! You are invited to hack on the Mozilla Support wiki with us as part of the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Engagement/Developer_Engagement/FirefoxAppDays Firefox OS Apps Days]. Yes, this support website is a wiki! Our goal is to have 10 additional contributors to the English support wiki for Firefox OS. To participate virtually: # Get the Firefox OS simulator addon here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/ # Try out the Firefox OS smartphone apps and features and pick something you like to document. #Log in and create a new help article here: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/create-new-knowledge-base-article It can be just a simple 3-step article (we want small articles for easy use on a mobile phone). Here is a sample article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-contact-firefox-os Click {menu Edit article}, then cut & paste the sample wiki text into your new article and change the wording for your procedure. Here are some of the Firefox OS apps that need documentation: Gallery Video Utility tray SIM security App permissions Maps Browser Developer settings We also have a list of existing Firefox OS articles that need more changes: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/contributors/need-changes?product=firefox-os We also have a lot of little articles in-progress that could use your contribution! *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-firefox-os-phone *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-controls-and-options-firefox-os-phones *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-os-phone-faq *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/privacy-and-security-settings-firefox-os-phones *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/marketplace/get-started *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-install-app-marketplace *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-report-faulty-app-firefox-marketplace The goal is to have 50 contributors submit articles or edits to the knowledge base wiki every day, instead of the usual 40, will you be one of us?!
