Webdev:2012

Story

In 2012 Webdev accomplished three

Goals

• Build web products that inspire and help people
  • Make users #1: Bolster the role of UX and UR in our projects
  • Always ask: "Does this offer a unique and valuable service or function to people?"
• Be a force behind the future of Mozilla -- and the web
  • Be creative and innovate: help labs, pancake, engagement, identity, social, apps build new prototypes and proof of concepts
  • Dogfood: use browserid, play with apps, use b2g and hack on it, play with new JS APIs, list goes on
  • Invest: build platforms that can take on a life of their own
• Prioritize web products that offer continual benefit
  • Cut or outsource projects that do not
  • Think of ways we can turn one-offs into platforms
  • Challenge ourselves and others to tie pieces together

For morgamic:

• Ask tough questions
• Help us cut things out that don't matter -- or ship them out (especially projects that have no life span or continual returns)
• Be a better rep of webdev - both internally at Mozilla and outside of Mozilla
• Get us to a point where we have a healthier balance between service and innovation -- i.e. <managerlingo>pivot</managerlingo>
