Since it’s been a couple weeks since either David or I gave an update of where we are in the mozilla.org redesign process, I thought I’d give a quick update.
After our kickoff meeting with Happy Cog, the design firm we selected, we’ve talked a couple more times and they’ve now started the design process. One [...] As part of the redesign of www.mozilla.org, Happy Cog has provided us with a questionnaire to be filled out prior to our first meeting with them tomorrow. David and I have filled out most of the questionnaire and are looking for feedback on our answers as well as help with two of the more important [...]

These bugs can sit for days, weeks, months, even years without any sort of triage to confirm or close. As a result, over the years we’ve gone from 29 unconfirmed bugs on February 17, 2000, to a high [...] I forgot to mention… On Monday (yesterday), I started work at the Mozilla Corporation.
