== FAQ ==
=== How do I get vouched? ===
[http://mozilla.org/contribute Contribute]! Once you have contributed significantly to any of Mozilla's projects, ask the people you are working with to vouch you on Mozillians.org. They will either do so, or will encourage you to make a few more contributions first.
=== What does "being vouched" mean? ===
Being vouched means you have been accepted as a contributing member of the Mozilla community and may be given access to data and information that Mozilla only shares with its trusted community. As a vouched Mozillian, you have access to:
* View all profiles and join groups
* Access special video content on Air Mozilla
* Join the Mozilla Exchange Yammer network
* Use other Mozilla apps as a vouched user
=== Someone asked me to vouch for them. Should I vouch for them? ===
Only vouch for contributors who have make significant contributions to one of Mozilla's projects. If you cannot verify their contributions and do not know the person, ask them to have someone they have worked with vouch for them instead.
=== Are there different levels of vouched Mozillians? ===
Any Mozillian who has one vouch can search and view profiles in the directory. Any Mozillian who has three vouches can vouch other Mozillians.
=== Who can see the information I add to my profile? ===
It depends.
# Most fields on your profile have "per-field" privacy settings. You can set a field to "public", which means anyone on the internet can search for and view those fields (and therefore also can view your username). Also, "public" profile fields are shared through [[Mozillians/API|the Mozillians.org API]] with any vouched Mozillian who requests a "vouched" API key.
# You can also set a field to "Mozillians" which means any vouched Mozillian can view it. Also, [[Mozillians/API#Sites_using_the_API|certain reviewed applications]] have been given elevated access to the API in order to help Mozilla's platforms interoperate. These reviewed applications can read fields through the API that you have marked for "Mozillians" only.
# Mozillians.org is maintained by employees of Mozilla, including engineers, system administrators and database administrators. These people have access to the raw data of your profile in a variety of formats, but they only encounter it while doing their jobs.
=== How do I get an API key? ===
You can get a "vouched" or "reviewed" API key by becoming a vouched Mozillian, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Community%20Tools&component=API%20Requests submitting a bug] and meeting all review standards.
=== What API applications have access to the non-public data I put into Mozillians.org? ===
Only applications that have met our strict [review standards] can access your profile as if they were a Mozillian. These [[Mozillians/API#Reviewed_Applications|Reviewed Applications]] are all listed on the Mozillians API page.
=== What responsibilities does an API application developer have? ===
The developer must ensure that the application follows the [http://mozillians.readthedocs.org/latest/api/api.html Using API Data guidelines].
=== What should I do if I discover an application misusing the Mozillians.org API or its data? ===
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Community%20Tools&component=Data%20Complaints File a bug in the Community Tools product under Data Complaint].
=== How can I get a "reviewed" API key? ===
In order to get a "reviewed" API key you must successfully pass the [review process[0]].
=== Footnotes ===
[0] Suggested review process:
* File a bug in the proper product and component
* The bug will ask specific questions like some other bugs do, not just be a big challenging bug form
* One aspect of review is that your application must be managed by the Mozilla Corporation. This means...
** Running on Mozilla infrastructure in a Mozilla datacenter (proof: link to bug about standing it up there or webserver headers)
** satisfying Mozilla's current data security, data privacy and legal standards for web applications (proof: link to project review bug or to reviewers we can contact)
* Another aspect of review is that you understand Mozillians.org's per-field privacy levels, agree to abide by them and agree to perpetuate them. (proof: conversation with application reviewer that satisfies the reviewer)
