< | The '''<dfn>Contribute workmode</dfn>''' page is a work-in-progress for documenting how we work in the open, and how to document how to contribute to various Mozilla projects, and ideally how to contribute to this page itself. We are also using the [[Contribute/barriers|barriers]] page to identify processes or habits that are barriers to good faith (per [[CPG]]) community participation and what steps can we take to minimize and ideally eliminate any such barriers. | ||

== | == Why == | ||
This page is an effort aligned with '''[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/#principles-08 Mozilla Manifesto Principle 8]''', specifically: | |||

== Questions == | |||
Got a question about how to [[contribute]] to Mozilla, or especially about this page/project to improve the open contribution workmode at Mozilla? Ask away and hopefully someone working on this in the community will be able to both answer your question, and use it to improve our [[Contribute]] documentation. | |||
