Contribute/Coding/Engagement

This page lists code contribution engagement points, active and otherwise, across Mozilla.

Active

Including mailing lists, twitter and other places we actively solicit contributor engagement and highlight contribution opportunities. Where they are, who owns them, how their effectiveness is measured.
