 Mozilla operates under a [http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/module-ownership.html module ownership governance system]. A '''module''' is a discrete unit of code or activity. An '''owner''' is the person in charge of a module or sub-module. A '''peer''' is a person whom the owner has appointed to help them. A module may have multiple peers and, very occasionally, multiple owners.
-===Who Appoints Whom===
+The system is overseen by the owner and peers of the [[Modules/Activities#Module_Ownership_System|Module Ownership module]]. For the modules that make up Firefox, oversight is provided by the [[Modules/Firefox_Technical_Leadership|Firefox Technical Leadership module]]. Owners may add and remove peers from their modules as they wish, without reference to anyone else.
-The system is overseen by the owner and peers of the [[Modules/Activities#Module_Ownership_System|Module Ownership module]]. But in several areas, the ability to create, alter ownership of and destroy sub-modules has been delegated to the owner of the module whose broad scope covers that area. This is true for all of the areas listed below except for [[Modules/Core|Core]], [[Modules/Activities|Activities]] and [[Modules/Other|Other]]. The controlling module is the first one listed on the page.
+===Creating A New Module===
-Owners may add and remove peers from their modules as they wish, without reference to anyone else.
+Ideally, a Module should exist for all significant chunks of work or code in the Mozilla project. Who you talk to about this depends on the area of the project concerned.
-Questions about module ownership, or requests for changes to module ownership in Core, Activities and Other should be directed to the owner and peers of the [[Modules/Activities#Module_Ownership_System|Module Ownership module]].
+For many areas, the ability to create, alter ownership of and destroy sub-modules has been delegated to the owner of the module whose broad scope covers that area. This is true for Firefox, Thunderbird, and all of the other areas listed below except for [[Modules/Core|Core]], [[Modules/Activities|Activities]] and [[Modules/Other|Other]]. The controlling module is the first one listed on the page. Please contact that person about getting new modules created.
-===The Lists===
+For the modules that make up Firefox, ultimate oversight is provided by the [[Modules/Firefox_Technical_Leadership|Firefox Technical Leadership module]]. Therefore, please post your inquiry in the mozilla.governance newsgroup, cc'ing the owner and peers of the [[Modules/Firefox_Technical_Leadership|Firefox Technical Leadership module]] at tlmc [at] mozilla [dot] com. If there is something sensitive about your inquiry that you aren't comfortable writing in the newsgroup, or in case of uncertainty, please send it to tlmc [at] mozilla [dot] com.
-These pages list the owners and their peers for all Mozilla modules, broken down by different areas of the project.
+For all other modules (e.g., [[Modules/Activities|Activities]] and the non-Firefox modules in the [[Modules/Other|Other]] category), please post your inquiry in the mozilla.governance newsgroup, cc'ing the owner and peers of the [[Modules/Activities#Module_Ownership_System|Module Ownership module]] at module-ownership [at] mozilla [dot] org. If there is something sensitive about your inquiry that you aren't comfortable writing in the newsgroup, or in case of uncertainty, please send it to module-ownership [at] mozilla [dot] org.
