+<h2>What is addons.mozilla.org?</h2>
+<p>
+ addons.mozilla.org (AMO) is Mozilla's official site for add-ons for Mozilla
+ applications. Add-ons let you add new features to Firefox, Thunderbird,
+ SeaMonkey, and Sunbird. From AMO, you can browse and download thousands of
+ add-ons to change the way you use the internet.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Who creates these add-ons?</h2>
+<p>
+ The thousands of add-on developers range from individual hobbyists to large
+ corporations. All public add-ons are reviewed by a staff of dedicated
+ volunteers before being released. Experimental add-ons are marked as such and
+ have not been reviewed.
+</p>
+
+<h2>How do I keep up on what's going on with AMO?</h2>
+<p>
+ Our <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/">blog</a> is regularly updated,
+ and we often feature posts from the general community. We also have a
+ <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/newsletter">newsletter</a> which gets sent
+ out on a monthly basis.
+</p>
+
+<h2>This sounds great! How can I get involved?</h2>
+<p>
+ There are plenty of ways to get involved:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/AMO:Editors/Applying">Become an
+ editor</a>. Our editors are AMO fans with a technical background who
+ review add-ons for code quality and stability.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/">Make your own add-on</a>. AMO
+ provides free hosting and update services and can help you reach a large
+ audience of users.
+ </li>

+ Tell your friends! <a href="http://spreadfirefox.com/">Spread Firefox</a>
+ and let people know which add-ons you use.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Submit bugs and fixes.
