** <em>QUESTION: re: PRODUCT MARKETING + games.
** Mozilla invites you to push the limits of what gaming looks like on the web and to build hackable games; games that let their players remix, fork and share to their hearts' content.  
*** Is "Hackable Games" the right overall handle for this? How do we want to "package" / brand Mozilla's / Webmaker's hackable gaming work going forward?
*** "Hackable games?" "Game On?" A gaming component under Mozilla Webmaker? Gaming for Thimble?
*** Where / how do we need to loop in MoCos like Martin / Leslie? How do we tie in to Mozilla's larger gaming work?
*** There's product / naming / branding complexity here we should discuss.</em>

<li><strong>QUOTE</li>
<li><strong>QUOTES </strong></li>
With Game On and Hackable Games we are hoping to both explore what gaming looks like on the web but also tie into many other projects that we are doing here at Mozilla; from FirefoxOS to Webmaker, we are asking you to re-imagine the Web as the platform;
 
  <li> to make; we are empowering people to move from consumption to creation. In specific not only play games but start making their own; Games that represent who players are and what they like.
 
  <li> to learn; use games to teach digital literacy and web making skills such as programming, design thinking and empathy.
 
  <li> to share; we are inviting the world to remix, make and share amazing games on the web.
