Mozilla’s primary contributor phonebook<\/a>, has added a way for Mozilla-related sites and services to leverage the directory. The site is extending access and verification of vouched status on a per-Vouched-Mozillian basis. To use it, we’ve offered Vouched Mozillian Developers with an API key<\/a> (accessible if you’re logged in to Mozillians.org and Vouched) as well as the methods available right now<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Hurray! What does this mean to the Mozilla community though? Well, here is a little context: <\/p>\n

There has been talk about how a Mozillian forum or a closed place to chatter would look like. Gerv wrote a post<\/a> about how he feels the project needs to have a safe place to talk about important items within the Mozillian community. These topics can range from strategic initiatives we’re applying within the community<\/a>, changes in our board<\/a> to opinions made from our community<\/a> about the current priorities and implementation of strategies of what we decide upon.<\/p>\n

This API will help act as an authorization service for Mozillians to activate greater access to sites, tools and platforms across the community<\/a>. Accessible to any Vouched Mozillian, it can determine if a certain e-mail address corresponds to a Vouched or Non-Vouched Mozillian. I’m excited to see what the developers in our community are able to do! <\/p>\n

In the future, we plan to build more services that proliferate<\/a>, in a privacy-aware manner, Mozillians contributor across sites, tools and platforms and create a much smaller and more involved community.<\/p>\n

For questions or feedback on how to use the API, simply ask in our development forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
