A link to a "contributing" page on the home page would be fine. The OpenOffice have a very good example (imho): http://contributing.openoffice.org/index.html

in Most interesting, useful, or innovative add-ons? on dria
Firefox Add-ons (123 actives in this profile):
- Adblock Plus: blocks loading of files with custom filters, improves page rendering
- Bookmark All: Bookmarks all open tabs in a folder with user defined name, date and time. This is useful if the user has no time to continue work on these tabs and doesn't know when he will revisit them.
- CookieSafe: Permission management for cookies: Blocking, allowing for cross-session, for session and only for current session. Good for privacy.
- dragdropupload: Adds possibility to drag and drop several files into multiple upload slots (handy for BabelZilla translators)
- ImgLikeOpera: Loads images only from or only for the requested page, useful if your are (temporary?) behind a dialup.
- Locationbar: The linkification of the URL parts is the interesting feature for me.
- OpenBook: Automatically shows the folder tree in the 'Add Bookmark' dialog.
- ScrapBook: Captures pages from the net and elements can be removed. The captured pages look like pages from the net
- SearchWords: Allows adding of keywords to search engines. Probably becomes part of Firefox 3.
- wfx_Versions: Not for everybody, but for people how want to scan snippets of pages for changes. Handy for Windows users which have no update management for third party software.
Thunderbird Add-ons (currently 52 active add-ons):
- Additional Folders View: Shows a second one of the folder views, so the whole tree can be shown in one view and the favorite folders in the other one.
- Attachment Sizes: Adds the file size behind attachments
- Auto Zip Attachments: Easy way to zip files in the compose window.
- Copy Sent To Current: The user can choose where Thunderbird shall save the message after sending
- Folderpane Tools: Allows customizations like rearranging of accounts in the folder tree.
- Forumzilla: RSS extension which lets the user define the folder to save and the update interval per feed.
- Headers Toggle: Add 'H' shortcut to jump through the header modes.
- ImportExportTools: Import and Export of folders
- Mailbox Alert: Shows alerts for new mails, can be defined per folder, design won't win an award, but it's better than the built-in function (bug 375717).
- ThunderBrowse: Adds basic browsing functionality to Thunderbird. Now this lets the user open RSS items in Thunderbird if he has decided to only download the summary and finds it more interesting.

in Semi-random brainstorming on dria
Tab stacks:
- There is only one tab per stack "big", shouldn't all tabs of the active stack have the same size? The other stacks could be reduce to drop-downs like in Fx2 if the tab bar can be scrolled.
- For reducing confusion about tabs and stacks, another possibility would be to show only the active stack and place the others in a small vertical bar (like tabs) on the left (for western people, left for eastern).
Download manager:
- Pause, resume, abort buttons per file
- Progress per file (depending on server and file size)
- Use tree or similar for setting download locations per file.
- The icon should have an arrow into it (at the moment, it looks like common unzip/extract icons)
- Offtopic: Saving a complete page should show it later as it was displayed in the browser (after executing scripts and without adding content which had been blocked by Adblock Plus etc.)
Tagging:
- Use meta keywords as default
