==Don't Get Discouraged== | |||
Helping people get involved with Mozilla (or with any volunteer activity) is hard work and you're likely going to fail more often than you'll succeed. Information from traditional non-profits suggest that we should expect a 1 in 10 success rate for bringing on new contributors. | |||
Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a big learning curve and it might take someone a fair amount of time before they start contributing (another reason to create easy ways for people to make their first contribution instead of someone needing to get source code, build it on their machine, find a bug, create a patch, file a bug and then find a reviewer for their first contribution). | |||
So that's all to say, don't get discouraged :) | |||
