Although we now have millions of Firefox users, a very small fraction of them contribute to the Mozilla project. Helping people make the connection between what Firefox is and the people that make it possible is a critical piece in maintaining a healthy Mozilla project and continuing our mission. | |||
QA is the easiest entry point for volunteers to get involved in the Mozilla community. We need to find new channels to explore and help educate potential community leaders and enable volunteers to contribute in any way they can. Leveraging the community for QA tasks will help us get better testing coverage, provide the Mozilla QA team a support system as they focus on short-term goals, and allow us to take on new projects and initiatives that will help us accomplish our long-term goals. | QA is the easiest entry point for volunteers to get involved in the Mozilla community.

Most of our nightly testers are long time Mozilla contributors that are fairly active in Bugzilla... but we need to find ways to grow that community. Although the QA team gets a few new people to help out during our Bug/Test Days, we have not been successful in converting those volunteers into regular nightly testers. | |||
There are a few things we can do to bring in new contributors and encourage them to stick around longer: | |||
* '''A. Create better participation channels''' | |||
** Integrate QMO extension into nightly builds | |||
** Improve Minefield/Gran Paradiso pages | |||
* '''B. Centralize important QA documentation at QMO''' | |||
** Update well organized pages on mozilla.org and link to them from QMO | |||
** Migrate orphan pages from mozilla.org to QMO | |||
** Redirect mozillaZine blog to QMO | |||
