-==Positions==
+==Types of Projects==
-positions (copy writer, designer, marketing, web developer, sysadmin) description, some open tasks...
+Maintaining and improving the site requires the involvement of many different people with many different skills.  Take a look at the following types of projects to see what suits you the best.
-==Design An Interactive Visual Timeline==
+===Designing===
-Project: The current [Timeline http://www.mozilla.org/about/timeline.html] page is not very compelling.  Creating a visual timeline that people can interact with would make this information more compelling and could also allow us to expand the amount of historical information we are tracking.  This could also be an opportunity to use some web standards in interesting ways (SVG, SMIL, video tag...)
+We are creating a [http://redesignmozilla.org/ new design for the site] but this is just focusing on the home page and a global template.  There are many projects that can help improve and polish many specific parts of the site after the redesign is done.
-Who: Anyone interested in design and/or coding.  Could be good student project for someone in design school
-==Curate a 10 Years of Mozilla Online Exhibit==
+Some projects include:
-Project: The current [http://www.mozilla.org/about/bookmarks.html Mozilla Bookmarks] page attempts to pull out some of the interesting pages from Mozilla's history.  It is not complete, not very compelling and there's no context.  Curating an exhibit of historical information could be a key part of helping the community tell our story better.
+* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484416 Design an interactive timeline of Mozilla's history]
-Who: Anyone interested in writing and/or design.  Could be good student project for someone in a library science/digital archives program.
-==Localize Content==
+===Marketing===
-Project: Almost all of the content on www.mozilla.org is in English, but the Mozilla community is global and speaks many different languages.  Key pages could be localized and made available to users.
+===Web developing===
-Who: People from the l10n community who are interested in helping us tell the Mozilla story.
-==Port Site Template To Other Tools==
+===Writing===
-Project: The www.mozilla.org site is about to be redesigned.  We can take the code created for the site and make it available in other formats to be used on wikis, blogs and other sites that want to be part of www.mozilla.org.  This could include creating templates for WordPress, MediaWiki, Drupal and other tools.
+===Sysadmining===
-Who: Web developers and people with HTML experience.
