Hi,
Thanks for offering to help us build Mozilla's websites.


I'm ___, one of the developers on the ___ site. Glad to hear from you!
Start by joining us in #webdev on IRC. http://mzl.la/irc_getting_started will help you get connected, and http://mzl.la/webdev_irc lists some WebDev channels.


The easiest place to start is probably one of our larger site projects[1] - each has a dedicated team and established communication channels. Mozilla has hundreds of other websites[2] and much of the source code is available online. Do you have something specific you want to help with?
Next register an account on Bugzilla. Bugzilla can be daunting, so check out http://mzl.la/bugzilla_for_humans (15m video HIGHLY recommended).


If you need any help, you can obtain it on IRC. I recommend visiting #introduction, which is specifically for newcomers. And our Webdev group is in #webdev. See http://irc.mozilla.org for how to access it.
Now look for a WebDev mentored bug in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webdev/GetInvolved and contact the mentor - over IRC, email, or comment on the bug.


Feel free to contact me if you're having any problems! I'm ___ on IRC, or _email_.
Finally, with your mentor, fork the github repository for the bug's website and you're ready to start coding.


Happy hacking,
This is a lot of information, so let me know if you have any questions as you get started.


___
Regards,
 
Luke
