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.

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:

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

See the complete list here for others. There are also various Labs Google Groups, many of which will make for good student projects.
