Webdev Brainstorm

Last week we had our entire team on-site and had discussions about where we’ve been and where we’re headed. I put together a short presentation about past, present and future then we had a short brainstorm session about “ok, what’s next?”.

We wanted to share all of this with you to invite any additional feedback or ideas for how we can make the Mozilla web better. Below are the notes from our brainstorm session, and I invite you to add to the wiki page or comment here.

Our main questions for the future that we’d like your thoughts on are:

  • What would you like to change about our websites?
  • How do we encourage more community participation in development?
  • Give us a project idea!

Again, check out our brainstorm notes and we’d like to hear from you if you have any ideas to add to this list! Thanks.

  1. Do you have any ideas for now?
    I have some? but don’t want to repeat obvious things…

  2. Couple suggestions:
    1. A plugin pack of the top 5 or 10 plugins
    2. Allow a user to select plugins with the install that automatically get installed
    3. Even though you make money from search ads, why not place a donate now button on the home page. I donate to people who make free software.

    Have a good one!
