One of Mozilla’s goals this year is to [https://wiki.mozilla.org/2014#Enable_Communities_that_have_Impact increase the size of the community by 10 times]. | |||
What will these 20,000 active contributors be doing? That is something that the [http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/community-building-team/ Community Building team] has been spending the last few months looking into. | |||
We’ve come up with a list of areas that have both high growth potential and align with our strategic goals. | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>Coding</li> | |||
<li>Documentation</li> | |||
<li>Engagement</li> | |||
<li>Localization</li> | |||
<li>Location Services</li> | |||
<li>Privacy/Policy</li> | |||
<li>QA</li> | |||
<li>Support</li> | |||
<li>User Research</li> | |||
<li>Web Compatibility</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
To see all of the teams we’re supporting with their community building efforts, check out this [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Areas#SmartSheet_version dashboard]. | |||
Are there high growth potential opportunities that we're missing? Are you looking for help bringing contributors in to your project? Send an email to community-building@mozilla.org. | |||
