1207518 - Improve Firefox OS Phone Guide information

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Firefox OS, defect)

Description

[Chris Mills [:cmills]]

The Firefox OS phone guide is ok, but not great:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Phone_guide

It is hard to navigate and falls out of date easily.

The Firefox OS Devices page is much better:

https://firefoxosdevices.org/

It was put together by Sören Hentzschel

https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/soeren.hentzschel/

Brian King suggested perhaps we could try to abstract the data out of there, and work together on making a better MDN page? worth exploring at some point perhaps.

cc/ Sören :-) 

Maintaining this MDN content by hand is indeed not easy (and not sustainable without a DB, like we do). If we could help by feeding one single DB, it would be a plus for both.

Hi!

Sounds great. ;-) What do you need from me to move this idea forward?

By the way, there is a JSON representation of all data: https://firefoxosdevices.org/api/v1.0/devices/B13F3A577E68DCD98FE8B85F3A2D7/JGR1iRpZh1qtq9cUXzUpqeqo1FQ0t63i/

Hi Sören!

What it requires is for one of us to have time to put a plan together to go forward with this ;-)

I have no time right now, but was hoping to explore it in the vaguely near future. I'm mainly creating this bug just so the idea is logged and not forgotten about.

The JSON feed is very useful - thanks.

Note that we can upload a JSON file from inside our macros ;-)

I think this is obsolete now. Re-open if not.
