Hi all:  We're gearing up to launch Spread Firefox on April 7.  I've shared the staging site out -- but if you'd like to learn about the thinking behind the design and learn more about what we've done to fix the site, please join us for a walk through over Air Mozilla!

We’re going live with the new Spread Firefox design (and a whole lot of fixes) on April 7th thanks to the hard work of an incredible team!  Alex Buchanan, our intrepid web developer, pointed out today that we’ve fixed over 200 bugs since January.   I’ve recapped some of the major changes you can expect here and you can s

Update: We're still plugging away on Affiliates -- this is a super important program so we're going to take the extra time to work it out. If you want a redesign fix you can check out the updated design here. We'll update you soon. Thanks for all of your patience!

Staff from Mozilla Europe and various European Mozilla communities will man a booth at this year's Solutions Linux, Europe's largest open source tech fair.

The Mozilla Add-ons Workshop is coming to Berlin !!!

Have you always dreamed of going behind the scenes of Firefox ? Are you a Web developer (or not yet!) and have you always wished to make your first Firefox extension ? As an Add-ons developer, you are familiar with XUL, overlays, chrome, but have never dared go further?

The Mozilla Labs Café (MLC) is a short, informal gathering of Mozillians, tech enthusiasts, developers, geeks, bloggers, and whoever is curious to know more about Mozilla Labs and all the different ongoing projects the labs team is working on.

To get more info on the event, please visit the official wiki : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Events/2009:03:27:LabsCafe

Just updated the featured projects with:
- how to get started
- valentine's day
- community marketing team group and irc

Want a great way to contribute to the Mozilla Project? Of course you do.
All that you have to do is spend a little time and share some of your Mozilla knowledge with those who are seeking answers pertaining to Firefox and Thunderbird on WikiAnswers.com.

It would be great if the Drupal module Comment Notify could be integrated on Spread Firefox so that there is some sort of notification when there are replies to threads one has subscribed to.

David Rolnitzky is kicking off a "No Laundry in December" or at least until your stash of Firefox and Mozilla shirts run out:

firefox in india is largely unheard...........
well this is because not many ppl know about the benefits of firefox and even its presence...........

Hi all:  Per Alix's earlier post we're kicking off a light redesign of the Spread Firefox homepage.  The goals are to simplify it, make it easier to get involved and showcase the great community behind this effort!  We're working with The Royal Order, the folks who helped us

The groups system on Spread Firefox is very hard to navigate and find what you are looking for. It is not very clear where to submit suggestions and feature requests bug reports etc. This should be easily accessible from the main groups area.
 
Perhaps there could be a forum with sub-forums for each topic i.e.
Support

Thanks to your help over the past few months, we have put together a plan for the next set of improvements to spreadfirefox.com. 

I updated the text in the quick wins block on the homepage to see if it helps Sfx members and visitors understand better what quick wins are.
New text:
There are thousands of ways that you can help spread the word about Firefox, most of them only take a few minutes!

I just changed the order of blocks in the right sidebar of the homepage. The search box is now at the top to make it easier for new visitors to the site to find their way around.

Hope this is the right place, anyone else getting an error when posting?

As the quickwins are (were?) they weren't very useful, but I think they could be an awesome feature done right.  Quick wins don't need to be anything complicated, but they should be interesting. This would make them a great way for users to interact with the site by suggesting quick wins of their own.

As part of the rehaul of Spread Firefox, I'd love to take a look at the events hub and how we can make it more user friendly and inviting.  The whole goal of events is to celebrate community and evangelize Mozilla and Firefox.

I'm not quite sure what the primary goal of making changes to SFx is. Is it to implement new features and remove old ones? Is it to work with the current content and just present it differently?

Disabled the "what people are talking about" block (frontpage_blog_view) to prevent some of today's javascript issues to show up through the comments on the homepage.

I made my first edit to the block today... changed the text a bit and added link to the campus reps signups.  I will add new comments here for future changes.

The latest security update enabled email notification of group postings, which is why some of you received quite a few emails this weekend. Email notifications have been turned off again and will only be turned back on once the duplicate postings bug is fixed.
See bug 429407 for more details.

There was an issue with logging into spreadfirefox.com on 8/16. This issue has been fixed. See bug 450877 for all the details.

What new features/functionality would you like to see on spreadfirefox?
Here are some of the ones we came up with - what do you think?
Mashup:

Are there some changes that don't fit in any other category you would like to see on the site?
 
Here's an initial list:

Is there specific content you would like to see on spreadfirefox.com? What about documentation and help? Is there a question you could not find the answer to on the site?
Here are some of the ideas we came up with, we would love your feedback:

Do user profiles have too much or too little information? What would you like to communicate in your profile? What would you like to see when looking at other members' profiles? (Note: you can edit your user profile at My Stuff->My account. To view other users' profiles, simply click on their username.)

Some possibilities:

Groups are a great way to rally around specific initiatives and to discuss specific projects. There are over 160 groups on spreadfirefox.com today! Anyone is free to create a group, anyone is free to join a group. About half of them are focused on specific geographies or languages, the other ones are global projects.

The front page is the gateway to community marketing activities. Currently, it looks nice, but it can be hard to navigate. A user visiting this page should be able to quickly see what activity is currently happening and how to get involved. Therefore, it would be good to have more editorial content on the front page and a simpler page.

Possible changes:
