Compat Data contribution

[Justin Crawford]

Hi-

Stephanie Hobson is starting to design the interface contributors will
interact with when they make a contribution to compat data. We know this
interface will behave differently than the current article editing
interface because it will be taking very different data.

That's one interface and Stephanie is starting to explore it. But we have a
lot more to design here. For example:
* How do people get from a display of compat data (on MDN for example) to
the interface where they will contribute compat data?
* How do they authenticate themselves?
* How do "moderators" (people empowered to help manage data quality) learn
of new content in need of moderation?
* How do contributors learn of easy opportunities to contribute?
* When are contributions published -- before or after moderation, or
something in between?
* etc.

Here is my ask: If you are personally contributing to this project, or are
very familiar with contributing compatibility data or with moderating
anything on MDN, can you help me write/improve some user stories that
articulate this space? I have taken a first pass here:

https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/11SYxWvNyas5ojtOWONSv7iCqcLr4ZhDi21TzAapFVVU/edit#gid=0

You should have "comment" access now. Please ping me for write access.

Remember: These are user stories. They talk about the thing the user wants
to do, not the way the system should be built. The moderator wants to
prevent misbehaving users from continuing to misbehave; "ban IP" is a
design decision we can postpone.

I neglected to link to source docs. For background on the compat data
project implied in my earlier email, see...

Here's an earlier attempt, "Compat Data UI User Stories" from Sept 2014,
that might be useful:

Thanks John! Totally forgot this one. I will copy that content to the new
sheet and point visitors from the old to the new, and we can work out how
things relate on the new sheet.

As we define requirements, remember we can measure existing compat data
table events & interaction to learn some things.
