We've been working on helping new projects get off the ground faster by
simplifying the mundane parts of creating a new Mozilla project by creating a
project wizard [1] (suggestions on a better name that distinguish between a
Mozdev and a wizard project are welcome) and it's now ready for your use!

We've been building on the excellent Fizzypop [2] which we learned about at
last year's Mozilla Summit [3] in order to make it easier to add new project
types (our contributions can be found in our hg fizzypop repository [4] with
tracking in bug#505441 [5]).  We've already added Songbird extensions to the
choices and hope to add Songbird feathers and Komodo extensions in the near
future.

New projects are given links to the wizard to get started on their project
right away.  Existing projects can select their project and have a template
generated for them to get them going in a new direction quickly as well.

If you have any problems or suggestions please let us know or add them to
bug#19617 [6].
