I'm proud to announce that Stephanie Schipper will be joining Mozilla Foundation as VP, Web Strategy. At it's most basic, Stephanie's job is to make sure we are awesome on the web. More specifically, she is joining us to bake participation into everything we do online.

"The Mozilla Foundation has a vision of a web literate planet. We've built some tools to help with this and now we're asking the question: What are the skills, competencies and literacies necessary to read, write and participate in the Web - now and in the future? We've already started the thinking but we want to go further and develop a web literacy standard that we can all align with and teach to. And we need your help. "

"Over the last couple of months we at Mozilla have been hosting community calls in an attempt to come to a consensus around a new, open learning standard for Web Literacy. This is a contested area, for many of the reasons I point out in my yet-to-be-published paper on different types of ambiguity."
