823570 - Add a new "Developer Documentation" product to Bugzilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Currently, developer documentation is tucked in among the wiki platform bugs in the "Mozilla Developer Network" product. This is negatively impacting our ability to organize documentation bugs. We need, therefore, to add a "Developer Documentation" product.

Product name: Developer Documentation
Classification: Other
Description: "Requests for new developer documentation or for corrections to existing developer documentation on the Mozilla Developer Network wiki (https://developer.mozilla.org/). Both open web and Mozilla-specific documentation are maintained here."
Components: APIs, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, Developer Tools, Mozilla Platform, Firefox OS, Add-ons, Other
Versions: Unspecified [we don't have "versions"]
Target milestones: [none]
Security groups: [does not apply]
Votes to confirm: [disabled]

Looks fairly straight forward. I will use the same flags as setup currently for Mozilla Developer Network as well. We will however need a brief description for each of the components as described here:

Awesome. I will get back to you with the component descriptions; there's been some debate raised over the list. :)

Named API instead as that is generally used.

Named General instead as that is generally used.

All done.
