Kuma

• Welcome emails are now sent to all new members (for English language signups). Other locales will be supported soon (for some definition of "soon" -- any input from the dev team here?).
• Sign-in using GitHub authentication is now in a closed alpha test. Beta is planned for next week. See bug 1052453 for tracking.
• L10n improvements! You can now view the original source of the English document side-by-side while translating. Also, you can toggle into a one-column mode while translating.
• Template/macro editing pages no longer have a "preview" button.
• More improvements to the new notification bubbles. Aren't they pretty?
• Feedback on broken code samples wanted: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.mdn/H7LLpW6jxJo
  • The problem: people are pasting in code from elsewhere that has classes, styles, etc included that should not be included on MDN; this breaks samples and/or looks bad
