As user of the mozdev.org and not an "owner project"... it's difficult to browse thru mozdev.org without going for a especific project.
I mean, i can see a bunch of top 50 projects... but i don't "feel" how to browse them... without using the search field... It's nice to see where are you at, where you can go, and also see the projects from the categories that i want... i don't know... that's my point of view like an user... but i like mozdev.org! oh!, maybe putting the links of the top, a little bit more visible... well cya!
