This wiki page is a place to collect ideas for updates to the About Mozilla page on www.mozilla.org.

Plan

Our current thinking is that the current About and Causes section should be merged since talking About Mozilla and Mozilla's mission separately just doesn't make much sense. The following is a plan for combining this content.

Causes Section

All content in the Causes section now should be moved or deleted.

To Move

These pages are the key part of the mission message and should be moved to a new Mission page in the About section.

This content has already been moved to a top-level Grants section.

To Delete and Redirect

There may be relevant content from these pages that are worth keeping, but the pages themselves don't need to be migrated.

Not Sure

We haven't decided if completed campaign pages should still be available or if they should be removed. Probably needs to be decided on case by case basis. Anything that should remain can be moved to a more appropriate place.

For future campaigns we can create a central repository for them or add them where appropriate. For instance, the Parks pages live in www.mozilla.org/parks instead of a specific campaign location.

About Section

The main issue in the About section is that the Manifesto is not the best way to introduce people to our community's mission and values. The Manifesto is the foundation for the mission, but we need a new Mission page that can then link to the Manifesto for anyone wanting to learn more. The main About page will also need to be rewritten to focus more on the mission and less on the community structure (which is important but can live on it's own page in the section).

New About Text

New Mission Text

Mission

Mozilla's mission is to promote an open, shared and innovative Internet. Firefox, Drumbeat and our other projects are the tools our community uses to build a better Web.

  • An open Internet allows people to make new and unanticipated things online.
  • A shared Internet enables people to work together to reach common goals.
  • An innovative Internet gives people the opportunity to build onto the Web as it is today.

The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to these goals, but the real force behind Mozilla is people around the world taking action to build the Web they want. And you can help!

Promo: Learn more about the values and principles that guide the pursuit of our mission.

Note: Potential design/copy direction can be seen in initial mockups for new Causes main page.


Note: fantasai thinks we should go with openness, innovation, and opportunity wording for now, since it's the most official, being both in the officially-approved Manifesto and on Mitchell's blog (Mitchell being the most offical person). And then argue that sharing is a means to that end.

New Governance Text

Governance

Mozilla is governed by a virtual management team made up of unpaid experts and employees from a range of companies. As an open source project structured as a meritocracy, responsibility is distributed to any community member as they show their abilities through contributions to the project.

Learn more about who is involved with governance and how a global community works together on a common mission.

Roles and Responsibilities http://www.mozilla.org/about/roles.html

Policies http://www.mozilla.org/about/policies/

Discussions http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.governance/topics

New Navigation

  • Mission (or Mozilla's Mission?)
  • Governance
  • Organizations
  • Grants
  • History
  • FAQs

Note: Remember to update links in footer when updating the nav in this section.

Coding Thoughts

Our goal for www.mozilla.org pages is to help advance web standards where possible. This page is light on design elements so there's not much opportunity to use some standards such as canvas or SVG. Our thinking is that this could be a good opportunity to showcase the new WOFF format. Some relevant links:

Note: We have a license for WOFF and EOT versions of the Meta fonts.
