By the same logic, /contribute/ should be /contrib/. It's easier to
type, and `contrib' is a very common, well-known abbreviation (used by
geeky FTP servers worldwide). Were it to expand, it could be
/contribute/, /contributor/, or /contribution/ ...

Also by the same logic, <http://mozilla.org/> should be changed to
<http://moz.org/>. It's easier to type, and `Moz' is a very common,
well-known abbreviation ...
