User:Wsmwk
I am currently the Thunderbird Sr. Community Manager, and I invite you to get involved in the great Thunderbird community. As Community Manager I facilitate, promote and provide productive discussion forums, activities, and resources that enable the community to work together toward a more awesome Thunderbird. Catch me at @wsmwk:matrix.org, SUMO or wayne [at] thunderbird.net and vseerror [at] fastmail.com.
For two decades I've supported users and worked in various areas of Thunderbird: bug triage and QA, issues related to crashes, dataloss, stability, search and performance to name a few. Frequently seen helping users in Thunderbird Support (SUMO), Connect, and reddit. Accessibility advocate.
How YOU can help
Please join us!
We are a vibrant and supportive community, whose members are eager to contribute to the evolution of Thunderbird, and volunteer to help others. You can join us at forums where we discuss improvements, plans and testing, and submit your ideas at Connect.
You can help other users in support (SUMO), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird), matrix and other locations. We have statistical insight about Thunderbird at Thunderbird Bitergia and Thunderbird stats.
You can try any (or all) of our Thunderbird update channels - esr, release, beta and daily (development builds) - to help us test and improve Thunderbird. Come and learn more at Release Channels.
We even have a chat room where we don't talk about Thunderbird, at Thunderbird & Chill.
We look forward to meeting you.

Beyond Community
Beyond community management, I help developers and users in stability and performance issues, and general problem determination by doing testing and QA and bug triage, and providing documentation for these activities. Examples:
- topcrashes and crashes (subset-Core), Overview: crashes statistics
- hangs
- dataloss
- performance
- search and filters
- bugs created in past year which are regressions
- various bug queries to help people use bugzilla, especially how to use advanced search ... so that we can bring bug reports to a successful conclusion
- Thunderbird in Enterprises
- improving bugzilla
