Zones have two special attributes:
1) They have a nice logo, displayed on the left of the top page. Is there something we could use there?
2) They have a side menu (that is hosted in the wiki on the top page). Can we create this?

If so we can work to create the zone fairly quickly. Then, adding it to the main menu should be a simple PR.

Thinking about it more, since FxA isn't open to third parties yet, does it make sense to make it a Zone yet? Currently, the APIs are only available internally to Mozilla.

I think we can make it a zone, but not make it available from the home page.

John, what can we use for this?

Is this something that I can add to e.g., https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_Accounts?

This will start with the docs team. We will transfer over to the dev team once they're needed for stylesheet work and the like.

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

Sorry for the delay.

The things to add to the page, is a navigation menu. I can do it for you, it is trivial to modify once you see it.

At the same time, I would like to move relevant content at the right place in the hierarchy and with name following our guidelines (no worry, there will be redirections in place from the old names)

I found the following pages:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Firefox-Accounts-on-FirefoxOS
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/APIs_attached_to_Firefox_Accounts
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_Accounts_OAuth_Dashboard
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Firefox_for_Android/API/Accounts.jsm
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules/FxAccountsProfileClient.jsm
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules/FxAccountsOAuthClient.jsm

Are there (already) any others?

Comment 8

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

That looks right. There's also our main page, of course: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_Accounts

Comment 9

[John Gruen [:jgruen]]

Sorry for missing this. We don't have a logo outside the FF logo.

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

MDN will focus on Open Web docs only and we want to get rid of zones. This won't get fixed.
