Modules/Toolkit

Note

Module information is now stored in the source code, where all changes should be made. For instructions on how to add, remove, or update module information, see the mots documentation. This page is kept for the historical record.

Only module owners may edit this page.

They may:

• update any information about their module except the name of the owner
• add or remove sub-modules
• change the owner of a sub-module
• add emeritus owners or peers

Other changes, including changes of module owner or addition/removal of modules, must be agreed with the Module Ownership Module group, probably via a discussion in mozilla.governance.
