== UX Specifications (Wireframes) ==
Here are some guidelines to finding and using the latest UX specifications, wireframes and mock-ups.
 
* TEMPORARILY DELETED; working on recovery: All UX specifications, patterns and building blocks are posted in the User Experience section of the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/UX.
 
* All UX wireframes and mock-ups are stored in Box (not Dropbox). The main UX directory in Box is called "Firefox OS UX". The folders you should refer to are:
** 1.3 Specs: https://mozilla.box.com/s/0u4jt353ei9ov2c150ip
** 1.4 Specs: https://mozilla.box.com/s/yt7hl2leikogcuili7kp
** 1.5 Specs: https://mozilla.box.com/s/641ovdmhkancwvgxv0vq


* [[Gaia/Design/Patterns|Patterns]]
* The UX team has set Box folders as "Open Access". This allows view access to anyone with a link: You do not need to create or sign into a Box account in order to see UX specs and wireframes.  For the time being, we prefer to have these files be view only and, for design consistency, to have the UX team be the sole editors of these files.
* [[Gaia/Design/BuildingBlocks|Building Blocks]]
 
* [[Gaia/Design/Visual|Visual Design]]
* The UX team also attaches spec files to individual bugs AND includes a link to Box elsewhere in the bug: in the Attachments section or in Comments. The URLs of the Box folder will also be included on spec documents to ensure that anyone who sees only a PDF also knows where to get the latest specs.
* [[Gaia/Design/ApplicationUXDocumentation|App Checklist]]
 
* Please '''contact Stephany''' (swilkes@mozilla.com) '''if you have any issues with access to Box'''.

=== Filing Bugs ===
Issues are filed on [https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues Github].
=== Hacking ===
You can fork us on [https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia Github], then send a pull request.
A lot of the apps should be able to run in a web browser (particularly Firefox Nightly), but sometimes you may need to run them on B2G until new APIs land in browsers. See [[Gaia/Hacking]] to get started.
=== Communicating ===
You can find us in #gaia on irc.mozilla.org and we use the [https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-gaia dev-gaia mailing list].
=== Reviewers ===
Gaia does not have formal module owners, but the following developers are good candidates to review patches to the following modules and apps:

=== Coding Style ===
* Background:
** [[MDC:Developer Guide/Coding Style#General practices]]
** [[MDC:Developer Guide/Coding Style#JavaScript practices]]
** [[MDC:Developer Guide/Coding Style#Naming and formatting code]]
* make sure HTML files are declared <!DOCTYPE html> (i.e., HTML5).  IE9+ will load them in compatibility mode otherwise.
* add a <code>"use strict";</code> statement (exactly that!) to the top of your JS files
* 2 spaces for indentation - do not use tab.
* Line break are free (I promise) don't hesitate to use them to separate logical block inside your functions.
* Files are named <code>like_this.js</code>.
* Use single quote instead of double quotes.
* Additional rules:
Bad:
if (expression) doSomething();
Correct:
if (expression)
  doSomething();
=== Before submitting a patch ===
On each javascript files you are adding or you have modified, run:
gjslint --nojsdoc my_file.js

UX Specifications (Wireframes)

Here are some guidelines to finding and using the latest UX specifications, wireframes and mock-ups.

  • The UX team has set Box folders as "Open Access". This allows view access to anyone with a link: You do not need to create or sign into a Box account in order to see UX specs and wireframes. For the time being, we prefer to have these files be view only and, for design consistency, to have the UX team be the sole editors of these files.
  • The UX team also attaches spec files to individual bugs AND includes a link to Box elsewhere in the bug: in the Attachments section or in Comments. The URLs of the Box folder will also be included on spec documents to ensure that anyone who sees only a PDF also knows where to get the latest specs.
  • Please contact Stephany (swilkes@mozilla.com) if you have any issues with access to Box.

Shared Code / Styles

The Gaia apps share/reuse some JS libraries (localization, gesture detection, etc.), localization strings (relative dates), and styles (from the building blocks effort, see above):
