Ways to make an impact in NOVEMBER
Below are featured opportunities for this month. This wiki has the full list of contribution opportunities. Be sure to self-report any contributions you make in the Get Recognized section below!
One and Done (15-minute tasks)
Don't have much time but want to do something to help Marketplace? Pick a simple task below:
- App Regression Testing for Firefox OS v2.1: https://oneanddone.mozilla.org/tasks/88/
- App localization review: (Free Transifex account required): Review 100% of all strings in your local language for any app that's listed in the Firefox App Localization project on Transifex. We continue to need reviewers of Bengali/Bengali_bd/Bengali_in apps. Also, there's a need for translation reviews and translators for apps in dozens of languages, and many are easily "one and done."
- App translation: Complete any app localization where there are still some untranslated strings. Please self-report on your progress, but be sure to play fair. Some apps have much more work (more strings). If you like to work on translation, sign up here to get a Transifex account
