To help answer any questions that come in through the contact form on the Get Involved page or through volunteer matching sites, we have a number of canned responses for different contribution areas.

'''Auto-responses process'''
Text for the auto-responses can be found at
* https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/tree/master/apps/mozorg/templates/mozorg/emails
How does the auto-response work?
* Someone fills out the form.
* If they choose an area of interest that has an auto-response, that message is sent out immediately.
* The original inquiry from the form is still delivered so a point person can review and reply manually if there is a need to address a specific question.
* The auto-response has a reply-to address set for the point person for that area of interest, so you will get an email if someone replies to the auto-response.

Thanks for your interest in getting involved with Mozilla.  For more information about add-ons, I'd recommend taking a look at the Add-on Developer Hub.  This site has documentation, tools and ways to get in touch with other people interested in add-on development.
The Add-ons auto-response text can be found at:


https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/

There's a also the Add-ons Forum, where you can post questions and talk with other add-ons developers.

=Coding (Webdev)=
Thanks for offering to help us build Mozilla's websites.
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.
Next register an account on Bugzilla. Bugzilla can be daunting, so check out http://mzl.la/bugzilla_for_humans (15m video HIGHLY recommended).
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.
Finally, with your mentor, fork the github repository for the bug's website and you're ready to start coding.
This is a lot of information, so let me know if you have any questions as you get started.
Regards,
Luke

Hi,
The QA auto-response text can be found at


We're happy to hear of your interest in Mozilla QA. Our team consists of
https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/apps/mozorg/templates/mozorg/emails/qa.txt
five groups Web QA, Browser Technologies, Automation, Services, and Desktop
Firefox.
 
You can see a quick overview of our teams in this page:
http://quality.mozilla.org/
 
Depending your area or areas of interest I can help you explore some of the
things you can help with.
 
We've just started a new development process that should allow us to release
a few new features in the browser every six weeks, as opposed to tons of
features every year or so. We are going to need lots of help tracking the
status of new features, creating test plans for new features, creating test
cases, testing these new features and making sure these are in good shape
before they are deemed ready to go out in a specific release. You can see a
list of features we are working on:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Firefox
 
Many of those features currently have no QA ownership, so depending on your
interest and how much time you can invest, you could for example take on one
of those features to test it. Of course, there are many more things we do on
a daily basis which you can engage in to become familiar with the project
before you commit to "owning" a feature. These tasks include triaging bugs
that have been filed by community members but which have not been confirmed,
verifying new bugs fixes, finding regression ranges for identified issues
and so on.
 
If you'd like you can also come to one of our weekly testdays, where we
gather on irc://irc.mozilla.com/#testday and we go through some of the tasks
I described above. It's a good opportunity to say hi and get to know the
team and other volunteers and try on some new features or just hang out.
These happen every Friday from 8am to 5pm Pacific time, and you can find
details of upcoming testdays and other events on http://quality.mozilla.org/
 
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks you for your interest in
participating in the project.
