The Mozilla Newsgroups provide a forum for discussions about topics related to key areas of the Mozilla products, processes, tools, and community. However, while this breadth and depth is excellent in general, it becomes overwhelming for an individual wishing to follow all the currents.

Each week you and a partner are responsible for producing a Newsgroup Summary from the list of newsgroups below. Create a link out of the newsgroup title below and make a page for your summaries; you'll create links each week for the summary.

Your summaries should cover the Friday to Friday period each week, which means you'll have some overlap--that's ok. Deb Richardson (dria) has produced an example summary and a document explaining how to do yours:

Newsgroups

The Mozilla Newsgroups are available via Google Groups and as as mailing lists.

  1. mozilla.dev.apps.firefox
  2. mozilla.dev.l10n
  3. mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine
  4. mozilla.dev.planning
  5. mozilla.dev.builds
  6. mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird
  7. mozilla.dev.tech.layout
  8. mozilla.dev.quality
  9. mozilla.dev.security
  10. mozilla.dev.i18n
  11. mozilla.dev.embedding
  12. mozilla.dev.platform
  13. mozilla.dev.tech.xpcom
  14. mozilla.dev.tech.xul
  15. mozilla.dev.extensions

Grading

Each weekly summary will be worth 2% of your final grade, to a maximum of 20%. You will be graded on the completeness and quality of your summary:

  • 0/2 - incomplete
  • 1/2 - completed
  • 2/2 - completed and good quality

In addition to being worth marks for the course, you should also be aware that newsgroups that are well done will be made available to the Mozilla community. This is something the community is looking for, and will welcome.
