    Team

    The documentation work will be handled primarily by:

    Sheppy
    Sample code and guide/tutorial content.
    Romain Gauthier (tOkeshu on IRC)

    has volunteered to help with samples and tutorials. He's got a few already on github, including: Signaling server. HiBuddy (bidirectional video chat)

    Goals

    • Encourage the use of a critical new Web technology.
    • Enable Firefox OS developers to easily learn how to write audio/video apps.
    • Enable Firefox OS developers to perform peer-to-peer data transactions.
    • Enable Firefox OS developers to write code that sends DTMF (touch-tone phone dialing) signals.

    User stories

    A user story is a description of a specific user's needs that should be met by the documentation once it's finished.

    • I want to write a video capture application.
    • I want to write a video/audio chat application.
    • I want to do easy peer-to-peer data transactions.
    • My app needs to send DTMF tones. Note: This is very low priority; Gecko doesn't support it yet and implementing it isn't a priority, and while Chrome supports it, generally devs aren't interested in using it.
