 Community at Mozilla is one of the pillars of how we get things done. In the latest release of Firefox we saw roughly 1/3 of people supplying patches being a volunteer. See [http://areweeveryoneyet.org/ Are We Everyone Yet] for data.
 A lot of people come in through initiatives like [http://whatcanidoformozilla.org What Can I do for Mozilla] and from [http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/ Bugsahoy]. A lot of people work on their first bug and hopefully the mentor can keep them engaged.

+Unfortunately due to projects that paid contributors need to do, especially with in specific timeframes, keeping community members engaged can be difficult. When people have high priority issues community tends to be the first item that is dropped.
