Continuing the discussion from [Refreshing the Participation Buffet](https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/refreshing-the-participation-buffet/8896):

> Please read this blog post and let me know what you think – it lays out an important way forward for our work of the Participation Team in the next while.

> "What we’ve also heard over the past few months is that lacking clarity on the best areas to have an impact is one of the main things limiting contribution. When I look at this objectively, I completely  
> understand. Mozilla is a huge and complex project, with multiple products, projects and activities, and we’re right now in a constant state of change as Mitchell recently articulated nicely. To exacerbate the situation, we haven’t been very good at clearly communicating where Mozilla is heading.

> Our much needed efforts to reinvent participation at Mozilla has added yet more ambiguity to the mix. As a Participation Team, we’ve made some progress on bringing more clarity, and have laid out a broad strategy for 2016. But this isn’t enough. We need to do better.

> We need to help Mozillians know where they can apply their skills, time and passions to have an impact on Mozilla’s mission."
