This should be a fun experience, especially for those who love working on solving problems and making the Firefox experience better for everyone!
====Webcompat.com Content & Participation Experience Researcher====
Mentor: [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/astevenson/ Adam Stevenson]
Mozilla's Web Compatibility team builds and maintains a website called webcompat.com that allows individuals to easily report site compatibility issues - and to allow us to better understand the larger picture of compatibility issues affecting Firefox users on the web.
In this Outreachy project, the participant will commit to one or more of the following projects to help us improve our on-boarding process for new contributors.
*Review & update web compatibility documentation
*Identify and promote good features and bugs that need a contributor on social networks
*Make creative assets to be used on webcompat.com
*Review the user experience for contributors to webcompat.com
*Help redesign the contributors page on webcompat.com
*Create screencasts or scripts for screencasts that explain how to contribute to webcompat.com
*Assess the current workflow and suggest areas for improvement
Our current contributors page: https://webcompat.com/contributors
Some examples of great contributor pages:
*http://emberjs.com/community/
*https://nodejs.org/en/get-involved/
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/
The ideal Outreachy participant would have skills in documentation, process and some web development experience. Any additional skills like design, UX and project management will be beneficial as well.
