In general, this type of content belongs on [http://support.mozilla.org SUMO]. '''Developer-focused documentation''' is written for programmers and includes content such as technical reference information and building and debugging instructions. In general, this type of content belongs on [http://developer.mozilla.org MDN]. To summarize: [http://developer.mozilla.org MDN] documents how to interact with code. The Mozilla wiki documents how to interact with teams. [http://support.mozilla.org SUMO] documents how to interact with MozillaWiki Mozilla products (as an end-user). == Who own and maintains the Mozilla Wiki? == The wiki is owned and maintained by the Mozilla community.  * '''Infrastructure''' for the wiki is provided by Mozilla Corp. * '''Governance''' issues are covered managed by the [[Modules/Mozilla_Websites#WikiMo | WikiMo module]], a sub-module of Websites. Its current module owner is [[User:Ckoehler | Christie Koehler]] and module peers are [[User:CaptainCalliope | Lyre Calliope]] and [[User:GPHemsley | Gordon Hemsley]].* '''Technical Support''' is provided jointly by the community and MoCo staff.* '''Content''' is managed by the community. Information here is public and can be modified by anyone in the Mozilla community with sufficient interest and knowledge to improve it (and an account). == Where can I report issues with wiki.mozilla.org? == * '''Technical''' issues should be reported via [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Websites&component=wiki.mozilla.org bugzilla]. These include server or client-side errors, styling issues, problems with accounts or logging in, and feature requests.* '''Content''' issues should be addressed on the wiki itself using Talk/Discussion pages whenever possible. General questions can be addressed to [httphttps://www.mozilla.org/about/policiesforums/privacy#tools-policywiki tools-wiki] or #wiki on irc.mozilla.org. == How is the Wiki a critical resource to the Mozilla Project? == '''The Wiki provides the most comprehensive, overall picture of Mozilla's mission, strategy, and history.html ''' Information on the wiki tells the story of Mozilla Privacy Policyand makes the organization navigable in a way that no other single resource does. The wiki, along with [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla]and our [https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/ forums], form the core of Mozilla's long-term institutional record. '''The Wiki is a significant entry point for contributors into the Mozilla project.''' It serves as a primary and massively scalable on-boarding tool because it provides the opportunity for self-serve contribution pathways across all areas of the project. The wiki enables self-motivated individuals to take advantage of contribution opportunities immediately. The better organized the wiki, the more people are able to take advantage of these opportunities.  '''Publicly available wikis, code repositories, and bug trackers are essential to our collaborative environment and connect our project to the greater open source eco-system.''' These tools are part of the established canon of open source organizational tools because they make the knowledge and tools required to participate immediately available to those who are interested. Experienced open source participants benefit from Mozilla providing these tools because it is what they are accustomed to, and those new to open source benefit because it prepares them for working with other projects in the open source ecosystem.
