This wiki page is a place to collect ideas for updates to the About Mozilla page on www.mozilla.org.

Plan

Our current thinking is that the current About and Causes section should be merged since talking About Mozilla and Mozilla's mission separately just doesn't make much sense. The following is a plan for combining this content.

Causes Section

All content in the Causes section now should be moved or deleted.

To Move

http://www.mozilla.org/causes/index.html http://www.mozilla.org/causes/better.html

These pages are the key part of the mission message and should be moved to a new Mission page in the About section.

http://www.mozilla.org/causes/grants/

This content has already been moved to a top-level Grants section.

To Delete and Redirect

http://www.mozilla.org/causes/access.html http://www.mozilla.org/causes/education.html http://www.mozilla.org/causes/free.html http://www.mozilla.org/causes/security.html http://www.mozilla.org/causes/openweb.html

There may be relevant content from these pages that are worth keeping, but the pages themselves don't need to be migrated.

Not Sure

http://www.mozilla.org/causes/serviceweek http://www.mozilla.org/causes/onewebday http://www.mozilla.org/causes/open

We haven't decided if completed campaign pages should still be available or if they should be removed. Probably needs to be decided on case by case basis. Anything that should remain can be moved to a more appropriate place.

For future campaigns we can create a central repository for them or add them where appropriate. For instance, the Parks pages live in www.mozilla.org/parks instead of a specific campaign location.


New Text

New Navigation

  • Mozilla Manifesto
  • Organizations
  • Roles and Leadership
  • Policies
  • History
  • FAQs
  • Support

Note: Remember to update links in footer when updating the nav in this section.

Coding Thoughts

Our goal for www.mozilla.org pages is to help advance web standards where possible. This page is light on design elements so there's not much opportunity to use some standards such as canvas or SVG. Our thinking is that this could be a good opportunity to showcase the new WOFF format. Some relevant links:
