There are lots of articles on Wikipedia about Mozilla which could be made much better. Wikimedia UK has been invited to join forces with Mozilla to make this happen. The aim of this event is to get together a group of Wikimedians interested in improving the Mozilla related articles. We will be having a group of Mozillians joining us who will be available to provide more information.

There are lots of articles on Wikipedia about Mozilla which could be made much better. Wikimedia UK has been invited to join forces with Mozilla to make this happen. The aim of this event was to get together a group of Wikimedians interested in improving the Mozilla related articles. We were joined by a group of Mozillians who were available to provide more information.
