Hi all, Now I've got the Developing Gaia documentation[1] up to scratch, it is now time to turn my attention to Developing Firefox OS's lower level platform areas.
And I need your help to begin with, as I don't really know that much about build systems, etc. The current Developing Firefox OS page[2] is now quite sparse, now I've moved all the Gaia-specific stuff to a dedicated page. The question is really: How can a contributor actually contribute to Firefox OS, the non-Gaia parts, usefully? On my list I've got: * Gecko - this is pretty much the same as regular Firefox OS Gecko dev, but can someone comment on this, and help me outline what is different? What should I say here? Should we call out API writing/contributions specifically? * Gonk - we currently have very little information on Gonk. What should I say about this? How can externals contribute? * Porting Firefox OS to other devices - I'm sure it would be useful to give people some guidance on this, but what information should we provide? * Knowing your way around the B2G build system - it would be great to provide a really detailed view of how it works, what it does at each stage, etc. So that developers can help with it, and fix building problems as they arise (there's been a lot of traffic on the mailing list about this kind of thing recently.) * What other B2G customizations can be done that are useful to talk about? I have started a google doc at https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/document/d/1Wn-nQSHCxJnudyA0XgkVORpCGGBMUW6fOosxEXMkZ8Y/edit# Where I have started to collect useful notes. Please feel free to leave comments here, or reply to this mail. I'd really love some team members who are experienced in these areas to give me some help on putting together some truly useful docs.
