Guidelines
The guidelines are evaluated based on the link we have to documentation (wiki, readme.md, readthedocs, etc.) This link should contain the information or in the first page of text have a link to additional information so that we can easily learn about the project.
Guidelines for what to include in project documentation:
- The goals of the project
- Why the project is important to Mozilla and/or the A-Team
- Dependencies on other projects/teams, and its place in the greater ecosystem
- List out who to contact, mentors, active developers
- Documentation for how to use the project (or how it will be used)
- How to setup / develop / test the project
- Milestones and features to be developed (bugzilla table, link to well annotated github issues, etc.)
- Good first bugs and how to get started (bugzilla table, link to well annotated github issues, etc.)
- How to submit a patch
- Coding style guidelines and expectations
When setting the priority of a project, consider this scale as a starting point:
- 1 - This is a stated goal for the current quarter | There are active people working on this | Other projects/teams depend on this completing
- 2 - There are active people working on this | We are committed to delivering at least one milestone in the current quarter
- 3 - This is an project that we and others believe would be beneficial to Mozilla, but we haven't promised to deliver it on a specific timeline. There are clear plans and maybe a prototype of one or more milestones to start with
- 4 - This is a good idea or a project that we worked on in the past which could use maintenance. We don't have resources for this now, but still feel it is a valuable project!
