Thanks to everyone who has offered to help out. For now, please add your
name to this page:

We'll put together a list of tasks in the coming days and assign to
those interested.

I can help wherever is needed to keep mozdev going. I have some server

Honestly I thought that the volunteer situation was under control and in

Great, so we have 3 people willing to take over the day-to-day tasks

to the correct documentation pages (docs for all of this already
exists AFAIK).

I think that's a pretty brilliant idea, although we might want to
have a team for administration - its probably a bit much for just

dedicate one or two hours or even just an open ear to bounce ideas
from...

If there is anything that I can do on a volunteer basis that
doesn't
take "too much" time - I still work a 40 hr week, I'll be
happy to do
anything available.
