We are the MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) durable team. See the main MDN wiki page for MDN's mission, vision, and KPI.

The MDN Durable Team is now part of the Developer Outreach group in Emerging Technologies (ET), and is no longer part of Marketing/Engagement. The content team moved to ET in July 2017, and the dev team moved in March 2018.
