I saw this on planet.mozilla.org <http://www.mozdev.org/drupal/blog/Mozdev-Organizational-Changes>
In the last 9 years, Mozdev has done a great deal to increase the adoption of Mozilla technologies and promote the goals of the Mozilla project. We did this primarily by providing hosting and tools to developers. Recently the Mozdev board members have come to the conclusion though that the needs of the community have changed and project hosting is no longer a problem for developers. A number of free sites (github, Google Code...) do a great job with this and the Mozilla Add-ons site has evolved to become the hub for extension developers. In light of this, the Mozdev board is seriously considering dismantling the non-profit Mozdev Community Organization that runs the site. The overhead of running a legal organization is no longer justified and is distracting attention away from the site itself. We want the site to continue to serve the needs of the community and think that handing things to a new group of people who are passionate about Mozdev is the best way to make this happen. We need you! First, this does not mean that Mozdev is shutting down. We are looking into creating a community council to replace the board of directors and welcome you to join that group and help shape Mozdev's future. Once again, we'd like to stress that the goal here is not to shut down the site. We feel it still contains enormous value to our users. But because of logistical issues we need to wind down the non-profit structure and change the organizational nature of Mozdev. To get involved, post a reply here or or send an email to the address listed on the feedback page.
