1183782 - Create/Repair wiki for the new contributors on Firefox OS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA :: General, defect)

Description

[No-Jun Park [:njpark]]

This bug is a placeholder for the discussions regarding the creation of friendlier wiki for new contributors/ new hires.

Comment 1

[Peter Bylenga [:PBylenga]]

https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/B2G/How_To_Test_Firefox_OS and subsequent pages were built to help support new contributors.  There are other sources as well.

    Below spreadsheet contains the tentative criteria for the available tasks to the newcomers:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1smGTsmeTyBa0ZYcCtTW6xCjk9h6F8g-plwAI6e6rl_U/edit?usp=sharing

    My current idea is to match people's interests (top table) to the necessary information ('Learning Activities' table), which can be used to complete QA tasks ('QA Tasks' table).  Before we start writing the wiki content, I want to clarify the list of tasks that can be done by contributors.  It would be great if you can find the time to make comments directly in the spreadsheet, so I can make sure that I'm on the right track.

The second step will be to collect the list of existing wikis (like in Comment 1) and see whether they are up to date, and how to reference/reuse them.

Suggestions: We should also review https://quality.mozilla.org/teams/firefox-os-qa/ to make sure it is up to date, and link the final document there.

Of late we have been porting all our documents to MDN - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA. If it makes sense for some reference docs to reside there, we should do that as well.

Thanks! you should have access now.  the above etherpad looks like it should be merged with https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/B2G/How_To_Test_Firefox_OS, I should go over both of them soon.

Just to be clear, this is all related to help contributing in testing Firefox OS, not actual development, right?

Correct, the page is only for the Firefox os qa side of it.

Comment 9

[No-Jun Park [:njpark]]

The daily bulletin page is added here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/Daily_Bulletin

The new qa page for contributors are added here:
https://quality.mozilla.org/firefox-os-qa/

next step is to talk to contribution team and expose the contributor website
