| Hi, and thanks for your interest in getting involved with Mozilla! Feel free to email me with any questions you have.

|
| |
| To get started coding for Firefox or other applications, one of the best things to do is taking a look at our Developer Guide to get familiar with our tools and code:

| Hi, and thanks for your interest in getting involved with Mozilla! I'm Josh, one of the many volunteer Firefox developers. Feel free to email me with any questions you have.
| |
|
| |
| Is there any specific part of Firefox you'd like to work on? What sort of programming experience do you have? There's a list of bugs that have been tagged as being good for someone just getting started [0], but it can be a bit overwhelming to look through. If you have an area of interest, I can help you find something to work on.

| To get started coding for Firefox or other applications, one of the best things to do is taking a look at our Developer Guide [1] to get familiar with our tools and code. I know it's a lot of information; we're working on making it easier for new people to get started, but it's a slow process. I also wrote a blog post [2] based on my experiences that gives tips on how to get involved with coding.
| |
|
| |
| If you have any questions about any of this, posting to our forums [3] or using our chat server [4] are both good places to go. On irc.mozilla.org, there's the #introduction channel specifically for people just getting started. You're also welcome to write me back with any questions. I'm happy to help you find a specific bug or project to work on.

| Hi,
| |
|
| |
| I'm Paul, one of the C++ developers on the Javascript team. Thanks for your interest in contributing to Mozilla.
| |
|
| |
| We have a page explaining how to get involved with Mozilla at http://developer.mozilla.org/En/Introduction. In addition, I can help you with any specific questions you may have.
| |
|
| |
| C++ not your language? Don't worry - we have projects in C, JS, CSS, HTML, PHP, Python, Perl, shell/make, and probably others. Let me know what you can do and I'll find a way for you to contribute.
| |
|
| |
| Finally, most of our developers are willing to help in person, and you can find them on irc most of the day, in particular in the #introduction channel, which is specifically for newcomers to Mozilla. See http://irc.mozilla.org for how to access it.
| |
|
| |
| If you have any more questions, or just don't know where to start, please feel free to contact me directly. I'm pbiggar on IRC, or you can email me at pbiggar@mozilla.com.

|
| |
| Happy hacking,
| |
| Paul
