Mailing Lists/Newsgroups
Mailing lists are used extensively by the Mozilla community for many things, including:
- questions that require more than casual effort to consider and answer
- advocating for a particular direction of development
- making the community aware of new projects or updates
- inviting participation in a project
Some lists are less active than others, but they are all read by experienced Mozilla contributors. Questions asked with sincerity and ordinary politeness will get a response.
There are two ways to access the mailing lists:
- subscribe to individual mailing lists and receive new posts by email
- browse groups as a Usenet archive via Google Groups
Here are a few lists to get you started:
List Topic | Listserv | Usenet |
---|---|---|
Firefox development | dev-apps-firefox | mozilla.dev.apps.firefox |
Thunderbird development | dev-apps-thunderbird | mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird |
Development builds | dev-builds | mozilla.dev.builds |
Extension building | dev-extensions | mozilla.dev.extensions |
Platform development | dev-platform | mozilla.dev.platform |
Mobile platform development | dev-platforms-mobile | mozilla.dev.platforms.mobile |
XUL development | dev-tech-xul | mozilla.dev.tech.xul |
