Get involved with making Mozilla's web sites even better. This page lists contribution opportunities that you're welcome to work on.

Most of the code on our sites is HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Django (Python) and you can read about how we do web development in the Webdev Bootcamp.

If you have questions or are unsure how you can help, just ask on the webdev forum (to sign up to the forum as a mailing list, go to lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webdev) or IRC in #webdev or talk to @potch, @groovecoder or @r1cky on Twitter.
