This page describes the efforts we are currently working on about porting Firefox OS on the Fairphone device.

This page is for project management, not for end-user support or code documentation.

Current project actions

To do : ignition

• Take the FxOS/Fairphone discussion in an other place than Reps mailing list (B2G mailinglist) so porting question can get more/better attention [NicolasWeb]
• Post something too in xda-developers: it might also be a good place to build a community around the port [NicolasWeb]
• Contact Firefox OS Device functional team [NicolasWeb]
• Building project tools:
  • Sumo thread [NicolasWeb]
• Improve the general porting plan [Dietrich, NicolasWeb]
  • Curate, differentiate, merge & link in Resources the wiki & MDN pages (On Progress)
