Let's keep in mind that while we're not going to become Mozilla (both  
because we don't have the human resources to do so and because I don't  
believe that's what anyone involved wants  out of their efforts),  
Mozilla represents a hugely successful (by pretty much any measure you  
can pick except 'ease of new developer involvement' in my opinion -  
resulting product, user base, public appeal, financial success)  
instantiation of 'open source organization'.  There are without a  
doubt many lessons to be learned from Mozilla, and a desire not to  
become that organization shouldn't stop us from cherrypicking  
knowledge where appropriate.  Colin is in a very unique position to  
provide relevant insights from within the Mozilla machine.
