A quick look (in no particular order) at what I’m working on or involved with these days…I should be clear that a lot of these aren’t “my” projects, and are instead things that I’m just helping out with in one way or another.

* brainstorming about how to engage and grow our design community…this is going to be one of my top priorities for 2009, so I’ll blog about it in much more detail soon
* finalizing the Mozilla Community Store – coming next month!
* optimizing the search and download experience for our many non-English locales (includes creating some new landing pages and overhauling the all languages page)
* developing a visual representation of the Mozilla community (more on this soon)
* creating a new SUMO logo
* creating the Impact Mozilla contest site (and helping judge the submissions)
* redesigning Mitchell’s “Lizard Wrangler” blog
* updating the Firefox logos and wordmarks for the 3.1 release
* redesigning the Spread Firefox homepage
* optimizing the Mozilla.com dino head favicon
* creating a new page on Mozilla.com to host all our Firefox 3 videos
* doing some bits of writing and editing for an upcoming add-ons program
* creating new banner ads and landing page to highlight the positive reviews Firefox 3 has received
* helping Alex Faaborg source the designers for 3.1 icon development
* creating some pages and affiliate buttons for our upcoming SF Green Festival sponsorship
* updating our Careers page with some new functionality
* creating new robot artwork for the 3.1 beta first run pages
* optimizing Mozilla.com to drive more traffic to SUMO
* helping with some multivariate testing on Mozilla.com
* ongoing Mozilla Store maintenance
* creating the new Firefox 3 robot art for Camp Europe

I think that’s a pretty complete list…there’s certainly a lot going on these days! If you have any questions or comments, just post ‘em below.

If you have any questions or comments, just let me know. Also, I forgot to mention this in my post from yesterday, but thanks to Paul Kim and Alvin Lai for their advice and assistance in getting this blog launched. I’d still be wandering amongst the WordPress support pages if not for their help.
