Introduction

Mozilla devotes a significant amount of time and resources into fostering a healthy ecosystem for communities to work--not just the Mozilla community but communities around other open source projects and free culture organizations. A healthy online community doesn't simply happen (there is no magic pixie dust) but it can be encouraged and supported.

Priorities

• Promote a healthy ecosystem of participation online
• Help create successful models that can be repeated for new goals
• Support software development that benefits our own software creation
