Jump to: navigation, search

Dates: April 27-29, 2012

Location:

  • Online: #devmo on irc.mozilla.org
  • Friday: Mozilla office in Mountain View, California. (Holodeck conference room)
  • Saturday & Sunday: Mozilla office in San Francisco. (Boardroom conference room)

Topics

Typically we focus on Web standards (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, MathML, etc.), but other areas of MDN such as Mozilla technology (apps, BrowserID, XUL, XPCOM, etc.) or the Mozilla project (building, testing, localizing) are all fair game.

Some topic areas where MDN is lacking and needs more content:

  • Kuma
  • BrowserID (Persona)
  • Clean up the guide to XMLHttpRequest. Needs to be turned into a series of pages instead of one monolith, and needs to be browser agnostic.
  • Boot-to-Gecko
  • Big push on CSS Reference and tutorials
  • WebAPI
  • Pick among the many dev-doc-needed bugs
  • Update IndexedDB docs
