Terminology

  • Code freeze - The point at which code can no longer be pushed to the primary Mozilla code repository. The project driver will notify the team when the repository is once again writeable.

  • Product owner - The person who is the champion for bringing a new website online, or managing the encompassing tasks of an existing website. This person is the final decider for a website.
  • Project driver - The project manager for the development of a website; typically a person who is experienced in all aspects of launching a website.
  • String freeze - The point at which text on the website will cease to be added to or changed. The localization team will commence translating text at this time.
  • Steward - A web developer who is responsible for interacting with external developers to help them write code appropriate for Mozilla environments.
