Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
I read somewhere that Mozilla:
- wants 1 million programmers to edit the firefox source code
- knows that editing the firefox source code is hard
I want Mozilla to:
- mention in bold that nobody needs to read all the firefox source code to edit it
- have a list of requirements with links to learn them or to buy books to learn them
- requirements can't teach variables and other common programming concepts again
- requirements must be concise
- even though we don't need to know all the code, give us a firefox source code overview
- write where the code documentation is as a code comment
- e-mail where the code documentation is to add-on authors
- write code edit examples
- finally explain a part of the firefox code, the part that matters to the example
Mozilla already wants this, so I moved it to draft.
