• My SUMO Challenge

    April 9th, 2008 by seth bindernagel with no comments »

    The title sounds like a Japanese wrestling tournament.   It’s not.  I’m just getting geared up to participate in the first Mozilla “Support Day” this Friday, April 11.  I thought I’d post what I intend to do and ask anyone reading this to join me by also participating in some way or another.

    So, in case you missed it (from the SUMO day blog post):

    “This is a great opportunity for you to get involved with Mozilla, regardless of your interests or expertise. We need people to write articles, create screenshots, correct spelling and grammar, answer people’s questions in the forum, or interact directly with Firefox users in live chat — just to name a few of the many ways you could help us out.”

    You can learn more here at the SUMO Day webpage (already linked to above).  I also found the contributor home page (passed to me by zzxc, thanks!) and this page created by SUMO community member, Bo Bayles, to be quite helpful as I prepare for the day.

    It’s hard to gauge how much I can get done, but I thought I would try to do the following:

    1. Add screenshots to an article
    2. Participate in “Live Chat Support” (Learn more by following this link.)
    3. Review and edit 5 articles by improving wording and checking spelling and grammar

    That should occupy a good part of my morning on Friday, then I have to get an MRI done on my ankle, so I’ll have to head out.  I put my goals for SUMO day out there for everyone to read.  If you’d like, feel free to post yours here…or post elsewhere and link to it in the comments.
