But you don't contribute to the community. At least, not in the sense 
that you contribute to Mozilla. If all we're doing is rephrasing the 
current /community.html (which seems likely) then /about/community is 
fine. The community is not on the website, in one sense - and in the 
sense that it is on the website, it's on the whole thing.

All documentation is writing, but not all writing is documentation. If 
you were contributing an op-ed piece, you'd still need to reference the 
style guidelines in here.

See my previous post.

Loads of other projects use /dev/. It's understood, and it's easier to 
type. It also matches the newsgroup spec.

You are right. 

 

My idea was:

For meaning 2:
/projects
/projects/bugzilla/
/projects/browser/
/projects/mailnews/
/projects/irc/

And, for downloading stuff (meaning 1), /releases/.

/releases/mozilla/0.9.3/
/releases/mozilla/nightlies/
/releases/bugzilla/2.14/
etc.
Build instructions live under /dev, but are linked from the /releases/ area.

Almost exactly like you said, in fact :-)

Probably in their personal space under /Members. And no, you weren't 
supposed to know about that unless you know Zope. ;-)
