Contribute to Mozilla Service Week

By Austin King

In an effort to bootstrap Mozilla Service Week, we’ve put out our first call for volunteering on Idealist.org.

Want to exercise your CSS skills? We need help fixing IE 6 layout issues. We mark IE6 bugs as critical when they block a user’s ability to volunteer, but display bugs are less of a priority. It’s important that this site be accessible to everyone, but we have many higher priority bugs and features to work on, with limited resources.

Display bugs are also an easy way to get started coding, without a lot of setup:

View Source and save the HTML
Make a local copy of the images, CSS, and JavaScript as needed
Reproduce the problem described in the bug
Make changes to the CSS
Submit a patch or CSS snippet to the existing Bug as an attachment

In the coming weeks, we are hoping to package up various tasks in a way that makes it easy for community members to jump in and help.

The volunteering opportunity has all the details.
