950877 - Document text updating via Github interface for non-devs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Popcorn Maker, defect)

Description

[Brett Gaylor [:brett]]

Often times our marketing + engagement team will want to update copy on webmaker.org .  Currently, they need to file a bug and ask a developer to make a change.  While this isn't a huge time drain, it would be nice in 2014 if all staff could make changes via the web interface on Github, and submit a pull request.

The only thing preventing this currently is a localization workflow - Aali, could you consider a workflow that would work for this type of change?

Currently it is possible and easy to edit any text for any apps through GitHub. The location of the file to change will always be the same folder which is in the "locale" folder the only thing they have to find the text in the file and replace them.

We can document or write a step for people to follow to make sure they know the right workflow.

OK, morhped ticket description.  Could you tackle this, Ali?

Also include in this any steps that would require notifying you or anyone sle that would need to push changes to Transifex or anything of that nature.

Noted. I have subscribed to all of Webmaker's repo so that part should be ready to go. The only thing left is to document this and I will make sure I have this in my high priority to finish up.

Thanks.

* Ali I completed my review. And shipped it to the Webmaker wiki here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/GitHub/Copy

* Problem: all the images are appearing way too large

I will have to figure out how to scale the image on Wiki for external image and will fix it as soon as I know how to.

Thanks for the review and put them up Matt :)
