[https://developer.mozilla.org MDN Web Docs] (developer.mozilla.org) is a source of references, guides, and tutorials on standards-based web technologies, much loved by web developers. It was chosen as #1 for Documentation in the Developer’s Choice Awards for 2018, conducted by SlashData. MDN Web Docs is a wiki built on an open-source platform; as such, it is open to changes from anyone with a willingness to contribute, including web developers, designers, and documentarians.
'''Hack on MDN''' events are ''hackathons'', that is events where people produce some kind of concrete output. These are ''no meetings'' events, meaning that meetings purely for discussion are not allowed. Each activity must have tangible results, and participants are encouraged to present their work, in groups, in a show-and-tell at the end of the event.
The purpose of Hack on MDN events is to accelerate the work on specific topics around MDN, to foster collaboration between participants, and to integrate new contributors into our existing community.
* '''Integrate''' contributors into the MDN community.
== Past events ==
The first two '''Hack on MDN''' events did not have specific themes; projects were proposed by attendees. In 2018, we shifted to the strategy of choosing a topical focus for each event. In 2019, we shifted from stand-alone 3-day events to single-day events in conjunction with relevant conferences.* In 2014, '''Hack on MDN #1''' at [https://blog.mozilla.org/community/2014/03/19/the-best-mdn-event-so-far-mdn-community-weekend-march-2014-paris/ Mozilla Paris].* In 2015, '''Hack on MDN #2''' at [https://blog.mozilla.org/community/2015/04/17/a-highly-productive-hack-on-mdn-weekend-in-berlin/ Mozilla Berlin].* '''[https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/03/hack-on-mdn-building-useful-tools-with-browser-compatibility-data/ Hack on MDN #3]''': March 2018 at Mozilla Paris. Theme: Browser compatibility data.* '''[https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/hack-on-mdn-better-accessibility-for-mdn-web-docs/ Hack on MDN #4]''': September 2018 at [https://www.campus.co/london/en/ Google's Campus London]. Theme: Accessibility.
And in previous years, we organized ''[https://hacks.mozilla.org/?s=%22doc+sprint%22 Doc Sprints]'', similar to '''Hack on MDN''', but focused only on producing documentation.
