Frequently Asked Questions (Portal Edition) - FAQ

Hello, will the portal be available in Spanish from the beginning?

Hey Gery!

Unfortunately the portal will launch as a V1 in English but our goal is to have the platform localizable (in pontoon) in V2.

Hey @ComputerWhiz so one thing is Mozillians is definitely going to be updated and will contain anyone whose ever engaged with Mozilla. But it will be more of a directory of people profiles from all around Mozilla. From there, you’ll be able to opt into where there profile shows up I.e. Common Voice contributors might not want to be on the Community Portal but might want to be able to use their profile to access discourse.

Meanwhile the Community Portal will be a place for people who want to do many things to support Mozilla can find events, groups, and people.

Hello Lucy! :wave:

Will the API be available and open for all? If no, why not?

Currently we don’t have an API, I’ll point to a previous question about this

We were actually planning to release a Reps App but since the Community is now moving to a common Community Portal; we are inclined to make an app in Flutter from the Community, by the Community.

Which is why I asked the following question:

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Can you elaborate about this “app”?

It would be great if there is place to read more so we can understand your need.

Thanks!

Sure, yeah!

MozFam has created a Reps Mobile Application. An app that uses API from the Reps App to pull the data and anyone will be check if there are any events around them or if there is a Rep around them to help them organize an event.

Once the internal work was done, we were to open the process of Contributing and downloading for all and it almost done when the Community Portal was announced. We hadn’t seen it coming but this was something the Community Members had put a lot of effort into. We were looking forward to using the same layout of the App and access the Portal data through the API.

Here are a few screenshots:

This is what we were planning, and the initiative was by @obitodarky and Ayush Bherwani. These are our Flutter Heads, who had the idea of building this App and make it all more accessible. We all chipped in our bits to help our beloved Community members out.

If you have a list of requirements we can check with what we are planning to deliver in v1 and v2 of the portal. The mobile version of the site might solve some of your current needs.

@leo @lucyeoh can the community portal use existing discourse categories which was used by the community or group before, instead of creating a new sub category in the community portal section

We are looking into the technical details with @leo and playground devs to solve that scenario, we are aware some communities already had a category.

Hey, how are we supposed to get our group verified?

Even though members are getting added to the group it only displays 6 members. Why so?

I can provide some general suggestions and ideas that you can consider for your project:

  1. Public APIs: There are numerous public APIs available that provide access to a wide range of data and functionality. Consider integrating with popular APIs such as social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook), weather services, financial data providers, mapping services (Google Maps, Mapbox), or news aggregators. These APIs often have comprehensive documentation and developer resources to guide you through the integration process.
  2. Open data sources: Many organizations and governments provide open data initiatives, making their data accessible through APIs. Explore open data portals related to your project’s domain, such as government statistics, public transportation data, environmental data, or healthcare data. These sources can offer valuable information for your application.
  3. Content management systems: If your project involves content creation, consider integrating with popular content management systems (CMS) like WordPress or Drupal. These platforms often offer APIs that allow you to access, modify, or create content programmatically. This can be useful for building applications that interact with existing content repositories.
  4. Custom databases or services: If your project involves specific databases or services that you or your organization maintain, you can create a custom API to access and modify the data or functionality. This allows you to define the API endpoints and data structures tailored to your specific needs.
  5. User feedback and feature requests: As your project evolves, it’s important to gather feedback from users and stakeholders. Provide a clear point of entry for users to submit feedback, report issues, or suggest new features. This feedback can help you identify additional use cases or areas for improvement, and guide your future development efforts.
  6. Developer community involvement: Foster a community around your project by providing documentation, tutorials, and resources for developers who want to contribute. Encourage collaboration and accept contributions in the form of bug fixes, feature enhancements, or new integrations. This can help expand the capabilities of your project and accommodate new ideas from the developer community.

Remember, the specific resources and APIs you choose to access or modify will depend on the goals and requirements of your project. It’s important to thoroughly research and evaluate the available options to ensure they align with your project’s vision and provide the desired functionality.
