slogan =mozdev.org is a website that offers free project hosting and software development tools to the
Mozilla community. Many Firefox extensions are hosted on the site, but Thunderbird andSeaMonkey extensions and stand-alone Mozilla-based applications can also be found. It is free to set up a project there, but all development must be done using a license approved by the OSI. Over 250 projects are currently under active development on Mozdev. The site is run by the non-profit Mozdev Community Organization.The [http://www.mozdev.org/faq.html Mozdev FAQ] explains the differences between mozilla.org and mozdev.org as follows:
Q: What is the difference between mozilla.org and mozdev.org?
A: mozilla.org provides a lot of the same development tools and resources as Mozdev does (including bugzilla, cvs hosting and newsgroups), but the focus of the two sites are on different things. The mozilla.org site is where the core Mozilla source code is developed. The projects hosted on Mozdev create applications and extensions that are based on top of that source code. For example, Firefox and Thunderbird are developed by mozilla.org and a large number of projects on Mozdev create extensions for these applications.References
