MOSS/Foundational Technology/Projects We Use

From MozillaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project, as next steps will involve contacting each one to find out more about how we can best provide support.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.
