This section contains information about the Kinto and UI schemas needed to set up and run experiments on the "Dev" Kinto instance located at https://kinto.dev.mozaws.net. NOTE The dev server instance requires LDAP authorization, but does not require connection to the internal Mozilla VPN.
For testing purposes, create a collection with an id of nimbus-mobile-experiments in the main bucket on the Kinto dev server.
