Reps/Website/Roadmap1

Warning: With effect from 1st September 2023, the Mozilla Reps program was closed and activities ended.

When: Q1/2012

The basic development of functionality for Mozilla Reps Portal.

Background info

Mozilla Reps program has been growing for over a year now. Scalability issues have started to be obvious within mediawiki and permission control has been difficult. Mentors of mozilla reps need tools to manage their mentees easily and efficiently.

During Q1, Reps team will deploy a new set of tools (collectively called Reps Portal) in order to accommodate the day to day needs of the program.

Phase 1 of the Roadmap will focus on replicating the functionality we already have on the wiki and streamline it for the Reps. Three versions will be deployed (0.1 to 0.3) with the first focusing on simple profiling of the reps. Once this is done we will focus (0.2) on getting dashboard for mentors and reps, to accommodate the mentoring tasks (reviewing reps reports, emailing notifications, getting the status of requests etc). Final stage (0.3) of phase 1 of Reps portal will be the creation of Events system, in order for Reps to manage their events and act as a primary reference for mozilla events (as Reps events are the most frequent ones)

De-duplication efforts

In the process of creating those new tools, some of their functionality could be paralleled with Community Tools (mozillians.org) efforts. We are in close contact with the team to make sure that there is no direct duplication and we are both working towards an integrated info-sharing-exchanging solution.
