Take a look below.
Denelle, this is great. One nit, which is related to things already
expressed here, but slightly different.
Being a volunteer at Mozilla means you freely donate your time, ideas,
heartbeats, etc. to help us accomplish our mission. You agree that you are here
because you are passionate about the Web and have no expectation of
compensation.
This makes it seems like all our volunteers have to be passionate about
the Web. I don't think this is or should be true: I know that many
technical contributors in various Mozilla projects have joined for other
reasons:
* They want to reuse/improve Mozilla code in some other context
* They want to learn how to become a better programmer and our
contribution/review model is a great way to do that
* They are being paid by another employer to work on our code.
I think we should be careful to welcome people who are passionate about
Mozilla, but be careful not to exclude people who are volunteering for
reasons unrelated to our primary mission.
