Websites/Mozilla.org/Archive/Parks
Parks is a project that makes it possible for Mozilla Foundation to use some of the energy around Firefox and other releases by fundraising for a gift to parks used as release codenames. For each release a page profiling the park will be built, highlighting the similiarity between parks (the original public commons) and the Mozillia Project (the web as public commons). After the fundraising period a gift will be made to the namesake park for conservation efforts.

Content Notes
Original thinking was that we could create a mini-site at parks.mozilla.org to host this content, but decided that mozilla.org/parks was a better location for this since we want to keep it tied to Mozilla's mission. The following pages have thoughts about how to structure this content on mozilla.org.
