What is a healthy regional Mozilla community?

Sorry, but I have a hard time understanding that doc.

Me too, some questions here (quotes are from the doc):

Understanding of user and local market realities

How would Mozilla itself make our life easier? I’m not sure if we already have access to download numbers etc. per country/region. If we do, please link to it and consider my point invalid :smile:

Number of active members participating

Why number? I know that measuring quality isn’t easy, but number alone doesn’t say a lot in my opinion.

Diversity of activities/initiatives that any given member participates in

Why should someone broaden their “contribution horizon” just for the sake of it? At least in the German-speaking community there are a lot of people doing an amazing (and that doesn’t even begin to describe it) job at what they do. I don’t think a lot of them would be willing to do anything else. Let’s say going from l10n to coding. I’m not sure if my last sentence goes in the right direction, after reading the bullet point for about 5 more times. Could you explain “activities/initiatives”? Does this mean that contributors shouldn’t focus on just one product for example?

Flexibility in problem solving and meeting goals

In which areas would communities need to be “flexible”? Time? Doing something you don’t like so it’s done?

Strength of relationships with key user groups

Could you give some examples of “key user groups”?


As Axel said, having a more detailed overview of the different points would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Please, don’t get me wrong. Even though I mentioned quite a lot of points, I know that there are a lot of thoughts behind this document.

Further, since I only mentioned to-be-improved points, there are other points that I fully agree with and understand.
