You are invited to hack on the Mozilla Support wiki with us as part of the 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
, 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:
