While these new activities are tremendously important, they cannot be the sole focus of the Mozilla Foundation. The Foundation also has a set of '''roles related to supporting the Mozilla project and community as a whole'''. These roles are outlined (and open for debate) here under the banner 'Mozilla Core'.
