Our messaging systems need to evolve — we get more messages, and more kinds of messages than ever. But figuring out how they should change is hard. Luckily, we can try experiments, and gather data.

On this site, you'll read out about some of our early plans. We'll publish experimental add-ons, each of which is trying to explore a targeted area. Some will be great and will end up in a product like Thunderbird. Some will prove to be flawed and will be abandoned early. Hopefully all of them will be thought-provoking and teach us something.

If you'd like to helping shape the future of messaging, get involved, let us know what you think of these experiments. Your feedback is our data.
