We’ve made some mention about how the community giving program will begin by reaching out to key volunteer contributors. Our first step has been to think about how to break up contributors into groups, and so we’re looking at various communities within the larger Mozilla ecosystem. My initial thought was that we could divide our Mozilla universe up into these clusters:

1) QA
2) Software Developers
3) Localizers
4) Marketers and Evangelists

Each of these groups could probably be split into subsections. Because our community is large and people focus on various specialized tasks, I’d like to use this forum to help us define the various groups and subgroups that make up the larger community.

I’ll use Software Developers in the following example. This group might be split into smaller subsections like

a.) Firefox, Thunderbird, and Gecko volunteers
b.) Extension developer volunteers
c.) Volunteers who work on webtools like Bugzilla and AMO
d.) Other application developer volunteers

Are there any other key contributor groups for software developers?

What about other subgroups under the main categories where we might make easier personal connections?
