It would be nice if we could add an optional pronunciation for our name for those of us with hard-to-pronounce names.

How can I work on this as a first time contributor?

Hi there,

Thank you for you interest in contributing to mozillians.org. You can start by setting up your local environment. You can find all the relevant documentation here [1]. Also you can stop by #commtools on irc [2] to ask for additional help or just say hi :)

I am also adding a needinfo flag for :nemo, maybe he can better guide you with this bug.

Thanks again!

As a pronunciation is a textfield sufficient or an audio file should be implemented?

Hey :kaushikdr technically a textfield is sufficient but I am not sure if we need to add one more field in our profile.

What do you think? The extra information on pronunciation might be helpful, but it feels like our profile page already has too many entries.

Given the global nature of Mozilla's contributors I think this would be really useful. Have you ever watched someone stumble through a name at the weekly project meeting?

Hello all,

Given the current fields structure on a mozillians profile I think that we cannot add more fields without making a mess in our profiles. We need to completely rethink the way we manage and display our fields and this thinking and planning is underway. I will keep this bug open and target it for when we have this restructuring ready. Thanks!
